[Enhancement] Snapshot fails on Paused / Stopped guests

[dvjsharma]

Summary

Snapshots triggered via zvmsdk.capture_guest() (or Nova createImage) fail if the target guest is PAUSED, SHUTOFF (Stopped), or any non-RUNNING state. The API returns HTTP 500 and SMAPI logs show failed logon attempts because the connector expects the VM to be CP Ready.

Expected Result

Snapshot completes (or at minimum returns a clear validation error) while guest remains paused, mirroring behavior of KVM/libvirt Cold Snapshot.

Actual Result

• Connector attempts SMAPI Image_CPU_Offline calls assuming VM is active.
• Receives VM NOT LOGGED ON causing traceback in utils.py.
• Tempest case test_create_image_from_paused_server fails.
