Bug Description

There are two calls[1][2] during ConductorTaskManager.build_instances, used during re-schedule, that could potentially raise exceptions which leads to that the instance is stuck in BUILD state instead of going to ERROR state.

    Fix exception type in test_boot_reschedule_fill_provider_mapping_raises

    After Iecbee518444bd282ce5f6fd019db41a322f76a83 merged the
    test_boot_reschedule_fill_provider_mapping_raises does not simulate a
    possible scenario as ConsumerAllocationRetrievalFailed cannot be
    raised from _fill_provider_mapping any more.

    The fault this functional test reporduces still exists just with
    different exception types. So this patch changes the exception type
    to a valid one that is still raised by _fill_provider_mapping.

    Handle placement error during re-schedule

    If claim_resources or _fill_provider_mapping calls fail due to placement
    error then the re-scheduling stops and the instance is not put into
    ERROR state.

    This patch adds proper exception handling to these cases.

Actually ignore comment 15, claim_resources didn't raise AllocationUpdateFailed until Stein:

https://github.com/openstack/nova/commit/37301f2f278a3702369eec957402e36d53068973

So the bug doesn't apply to Rocky or Queens.
