Title:
  Nova should allow HARD_REBOOT to instances in the state REBOOTING_HARD

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Currently when trying to issue a hard reboot to an instance, the logic
  in nova/compute/api.py says:

      if (reboot_type == 'HARD' and instance['task_state'] == task_states.REBOOTING_HARD)):
          raise exception.InstanceInvalidState

  This means there's no user-facing way to rescue an instance that is
  stuck in REBOOTING_HARD except for DELETE.

  We should allow hard reboot to happen in the state REBOOTING_HARD.
  Some new locking code will be required.
