Bug Description

The unit agent marks itself "started" as soon as the "start" hook has completed; but this isn't enough to determine the actual status of the unit. We should allow users to distinguish between a unit that's still "working" (joining relations, running hooks, upgrading charms, etc) or "ready" (idle -- waiting for further changes).

The precise mechanism isn't critically important -- although it's probably better to use the status-data field than the status-info field, because we expect people to parse it -- but it's important that this information be exposed in `juju status` as well as over the API's AllWatcher.

adding some search bait so this can be found.. units should show pending hook execution and steady state should be discoverable.
