    Allow soft deletes from any state

    At some point in the past, the compute manager's delete() method had
    its @check_instance_state() decorator updated to allow deletes to be
    performed from any combination of vm_state and task_state. This same
    change was not made to the soft_delete() method, and so soft_delete()
    is only available if the task_state is clear, meaning that instances
    that are put into ERROR state with task_state set to something are
    effectively undeletable, if FLAGS.reclaim_instance_interval is set to
    some non-zero value (which is what causes the API DELETE call to use
    soft_delete() as opposed to delete()). This patch updates the
    @check_instance_state() on soft_delete() to match that on delete(),
    and fixes bug 1029130 and bug 1029133. This patch also partially
    fixes bug 1029132, but more needs to be done to completely fix that
    bug.
