UI, API

##### SUMMARY
Ability to put host in maintenance mode when host is Up and Disabled. Disabling the host prevents new loads from being added when performing maintenance on groups of host. This prevents loads from being repeatedly moved. Requiring the host to be re-enabled prior to putting in maintenance mode opens a window for a VM to be scheduled for the host. Simplifies and improves the maintenance process.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the UI and API paths for host disablement and maintenance-mode transitions. Confirm how an Up and Disabled host is currently handled, then verify that it can enter maintenance mode without being re-enabled and that the maintenance flow avoids the scheduling window described in the issue.
