Description

Parsing snapshot states is a hairy business at the moment. EC2 has the snapshot state in the extra dict as "state", while OpenStack has it as "status". This makes for a poor experience of libcloud.

We should have a VolumeSnapshotState with standardized states and we should have the drivers parse their various state values into these standardized states, just as we do for Nodes and StorageVolumes.
