Add a description of the reason a board is being taken offline
Currently, when a board is marked offline, it's hard to tell who did it or why. We should ask the person marking the board offline for a reason, and note that reason in the device description as long as the board is offline.

Whiteboard
zk: let's add a model that tracks state changes invoked by the administrator and the system alike. I'd propose the following fields:
class DeviceStateTran
created_on = DateTimeField(
created_by = models.
device = models.
new_state = ...
old_state = ...
message = TextField()
I'd like to suggest using django built-in comment system where we could comment on each history event (so if I put a board offline, write down a few words other users can comment, and track this) (comments and all the views are mostly free thanks to that app.
mwh: basically makes sense.
Meta:
Headline: Offline boards will now have a reason associated with it so that other users can see why the board is offline
Acceptance: When a board is marked offline, you should be prompted for a reason. The reason will be visible from the device detail page.
