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

While evaluating this it's apparent that we also need to extend the NodeState to handle a stopped state and add a stop_node / start_node function. Imaging running nodes is unpredictable and often results in failure or bootstrapping components, etc. I'll open an additional issue for the added node_states.

> The NodeImage object could benefit from the use of a state attribute. This way when users are calling create_image and polling with get_image they can set the current state returned from the provider API. The states will need a mapper in types.py to map a generic state table to each provider specific state.
