[Anima] red/yellow/green lights for bootstrap and ACP feedback

[Michael Richardson <[e-mail]>]

We discussed today in the meeting that the bootstrap (and overall
anima-reference-model state machine) should indicate in it's failure
transitions whether the failure is permanent, "red light", and
whether it is a "yellow light" (try again).

We may also need an "orange light" which means, "failed, but requires NMS intervention"

We didn't have time to get a sense from the room whether or not this kind of
feedback (which may ideally, be real physical feedback to the installer) is
valuable.  Of course, devices with bigger displays might want to provide more
details about the process...
  {I recall the three-digit display on the RS/6000, and the mystery that
  ensued when I had a code come up that IBM support couldn't explain....}
