** Description changed: [Impact] * Instances in error state cannot be evacuated.

We should allow "evacuate" as well, since it is essentially a "rebuild" on a different compute node. This would be useful in a number of cases, in particular if an initial evacuation attempt fails (putting the instance into the Error state).
