Provide a way to record why a service has been disabled

Registered by Phil Day

On a large scale deployment there may be many different reasosn for disabling a service (some specific h/w problem, reserved for specific use, etc) - all of which are normally tracks in some form of incident system. Currently there is no way to link the status of an individual service in Nova with such a system, which makes operating the system difficult.

This change will add a short reason field to the service table so that a reason can be supplied when disabling a service.
