Cannot snapshot instances that are paused or suspended

[Devin Carlen]

Currently Nova only supports snapshotting instances that are 'active' or 'stopped'. It should also support snapshotting while 'paused' or 'suspended'.

I would say that Horizon should add checks for the instance being running to the 'allowed" method on the snapshot action, but it looks like Nova may beat us to the punch. I'll leave the ticket open to track.

    Allow snapshots of paused and suspended instances

    Fixes bug 1100556

    Remove the restriction in the API of snapshotting instances which
    are in paused or suspended states and update the libvirt driver
    to deal with this accordingly.

    Other drivers may need to be updated accordingly.
