    Handle nova-compute failure during a soft reboot

    A soft reboot is soft in the sense that we let the instance
    respond to ACPI events before shutdown. We still shutdown the
    libvirt domain however.

    Therefore, if nova-compute crashes having shutdown the instance
    domain, but before starting it again, when nova-compute
    restarts it will see an instance in a task_state indicating a
    soft reboot, but with the power_state being shutdown. This was
    unexpected and caused an instance.save() to crash out.

    In those cases, change the task_state to one corresponding to
    a hard reboot, and continue on.
