   Currently in the web UI on task instance details page, if a task is in the 
"up for retry" state
   we will see this message:
   
   > Task is in the up_for_retry state which is not a valid state for 
execution. The task must be cleared in order to be run.
   
   This might suggest to the user "you need to clear this in order for this 
task to run".  But this is not true.  
   
   Unfortunately it is not simple to make it clearer, because this function is 
used for a lot of different scenarios.  For example, checking for "schedulable" 
tasks, and "queueable" tasks. So not only would we need to keep track of which 
states actually require user intervention, but the desired action (e.g. queue 
vs schedule vs run). 
   
   So I think the best course of action is to amend this to say only what is 
always true, which is simply the state.
