Bug Description

Now there's a 'None' task_state between 'SCHEDULING' & 'BLOCK_DEVICE_MAPPING'.

So if compute node is rebooted after that procession, all building VMs on it will always stay in 'None' task_state.
And it's useless and not convenient for locating problems.

Therefore, we need to add one new task_state(like 'STARTING_BUILD') for that period.

This new task_state also needs to be added in the Doc.
I found two related contents in the website:
