Public bug reported:

The API reference for the rebuild server action does not mention the
preconditions required for rebuild a server, which are pretty basic:

https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/#rebuild-server-rebuild-
action

https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/54c9a944c618dc173bd1214be4de9a44479c8959/nova/compute/api.py#L2972

The server "status" must be ACTIVE, ERROR or SHUTOFF and "OS-SRV-
USG:launched_at" must not be null.

The server must not also be locked, but that's generally true of all
server actions, so it's probably not worth mentioning explicitly.
