   Out of band migration can cause VMs to be stopped, that shouldn't be.

   ##### SUMMARY
   <!-- Explain the problem/feature briefly -->
   
   The issue in the title occurs when an out of band migration takes place, for instance by a third party DRS system (vmware build in being the culprit in this case).
   The sequence that occurs is such:
   
   - VM migrates
   - it's old host reports its VMs
   - cloudstack marks the VM stopped
   - the new host reports its VMS
   
   This is not specific to a hypervisor in its logic so I think it needs a generic solution. An easy solution is to add a state missing to the fsm for VMs, but that gives extra problems in cases of HA enabled VMs.
   
   ##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
   <!--
   For bugs, show exactly how to reproduce the problem, using a minimal test-case. Use Screenshots if accurate.
   
   For new features, show how the feature would be used.

   <!-- Paste example playbooks or commands between quotes below -->
   ~~~
   The issue has a timing facet and as such is hard to replay reliably. As shown in the description.

   <!-- You can also paste gist.github.com links for larger files -->
   
   ##### EXPECTED RESULTS
   <!-- What did you expect to happen when running the steps above? -->
   
   ~~~
   VM keeps running and re-appears to cloudstack
   ~~~
   
   ##### ACTUAL RESULTS
   <!-- What actually happened? -->
   
   <!-- Paste verbatim command output between quotes below -->
   ~~~
   VM gets marked as stopped and an abundant StopCommand is send to the hypervisor. In theory this can be the old and the new hypervisor, depending on timing.
