No disable reason defined for new services when "enable_new_services=False"

[Belmiro Moreira]

When a service is added and "enable_new_services=False" there is no disable
reason specified.
Services can be disabled by several reasons and the admins can use the API to
specify a reason. However, having services disabled with no reason specified
creates additional checks on the operators side that increases with the
deployment size.

I agree with the reporter, we should at least provide some way to differenciate why a service is disabled, especially when it's automatically disabled using the opt above

This sounds like a real bug and not a like a change request, that's why I switch the importance from "wishlist" to "low". If you are interested in picking this up, you can cherry-pick [1] and re-push it.

    No disable reason defined for new services

    Services can be disabled by several reasons and admins can use the API to
    specify a reason. However, currently if new services are added and
    "enable_new_services=False" there is no disable reason specified.
    Having services disabled with no reason specified creates additional checks on
    the operators side that increases with the deployment size.

    This patch specifies the disable reason:
    "New service disabled due to config option"
    when a new service is added and "enable_new_services=False".
