Common field formatting

-----------------------

Multiple ganeti commands use the same framework for tabular listing of

resources (e.g. **gnt-instance list**, **gnt-node list**, **gnt-group

list**, **gnt-debug locks**, etc.). For these commands, special states

are denoted via a special symbol (in terse mode) or a string (in

verbose mode):

*, (offline)

    The node in question is marked offline, and thus it cannot be

    queried for data. This result is persistent until the node is

    de-offlined.

?, (nodata)

    Ganeti expected to receive an answer from this entity, but the

    cluster RPC call failed and/or we didn't receive a valid answer;

    usually more information is available in the node daemon log (if

    the node is alive) or the master daemon log. This result is

    transient, and re-running command might return a different result.

-, (unavail)

    The respective field doesn't make sense for this entity;

    e.g. querying a down instance for its current memory 'live' usage,

    or querying a non-vm_capable node for disk/memory data. This

    result is persistent, and until the entity state is changed via

    ganeti commands, the result won't change.

??, (unknown)

    This field is not known (note that this is different from entity

    being unknown). Either you have mis-typed the field name, or you

    are using a field that the running Ganeti master daemon doesn't

    know. This result is persistent, re-running the command won't

    change it.
