In StandardFlowSerializer, Line 314, we write out the Processor's Scheduled
State. This is done so that when we restore the flow on restart, we know what
state the Processor is in. So if we are adding new states to Scheduled State,
we need to be sure to account for that there. Specifically, I think we should
just update StandardFlowSerializer to write out a state of RUNNING if the state
is STARTING and a state of STOPPED if it's STOPPING. Then we don't have to
worry about the code that restores the state because what is written to the
flow.xml is the state that we want to use when we restore the flow.
