1. During CreateActor, the volumes to be created get instantiated in the Actor API in CREATING status. The Actor is still instantiated as SUSPENDED. However, the CreateVolume operation is moved to the beginning of ResumeActor. This is because CreateActor is intentionally designed to not be idempotent. The downside is that the user won't know dependent resource creation failed until the first resume. 2. Changes volume id to use actor uid instead of atespace+actorname, and add "substrate" prefix 3. Adds a new DELETING status that gets persisted before we start to delete volumes. This shifts the existing DB DELETE precondition checks to the new DELETING status. And now you can only delete the actor in DB from DELETING status. In the future, we will also add a workflow that will do mandatory node cleanup of volumes before starting to delete the volumes.
