I think this is not an API construct we should support. If a user wants
to delete their vm, they should always be able to.

Title:
  nova delete shouldn't remove instance from DB if host is not up

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Under nova/compute/api.py, it will delete instance from DB if compute
  node is not up. I think we should utilize force-delete to handle
  compute node is not up scenario. So, if compute node is not up, only
  force-delete can delete the instance.

  Code flow:
  delete -> _delete_instance -> _delete

  _delete(...) code snippet: 
  ..
              if not is_up:
                  # If compute node isn't up, just delete from DB
                  self._local_delete(context, instance, bdms, delete_type, cb)
                  quotas.commit()
