> Please add a comment explaining why we *must* not delete the job if _abort(
We have major error here - switching state to ABORTED before the job was 
aborted.

If _abort() fails, we already switch states, and we cannot abort again (in the 
next patch we fixed state switching to prevent that).

Even worse, when engine will check job status, it will be ABORTED, while we are 
still accessing storage. This is the worst bug we can have.

There is also smaller issue, if _abort is not implemented by a subclass, it 
will raise, but the job will be in ABORTED state.

I think we should change this to:

    def abort(self):
           logging.info('Job %r aborting...', self._id)
           self._abort()
           self._status = STATUS.ABORTED
           if self.autodelete:
               self._autodelete()

If abort failed, we are still in running state, and engine can try again.

If engine cannot abort a job, it can fence vdsm or the host, or just wait for 
the job.

We must document here that:

- _abort must raise if the job could not be aborted
- _abort must not raise if the job was aborted (so the job would not leak)
