Add state to StorageVolume
1. Currently, volume state is defined by the driver in a key in `extra`.
This key varies between drivers. Also, the value varies between drivers.
1. However, it is a commonly accessed attribute that should be unified
across drivers, just as `Node` state is unified in `NodeState`.
1. This PR does exactly that.
Some caveats:
1. The list of possible states is probably not exaustive.
1. I could not find an exhaustive list of volume states for EC2, nor for
OpenStack.
2. I have, however, manually checked the life-cycle of volumes on both.
1. Except for OS and EC2, all other drivers return StorageVolume objects
with state `UNKNOWN`.
1. I have no access to GCE.
1. I could find no exhaustive list of GCE disk states.
1. The same holds for all the other drivers.
1. I do not think this is a problem, because the instance variable does
not currently exist at all :wink:
