Add visual indicators for node states (stopped, paused) #1063

When stopped nodes are shown on the canvas, they are only differentiated by position and lack of connections - but this could be improved by using colour/transparency/icons/shape changes.

A paused node should also be indicated - this may be a rare state, so the visual cue should be clear - it does not need to be an iteration of the stopped node indicator.

[ ] Indicate a node is stopped by varying the graphical form of the node
[ ] Add a visual cue to nodes that are paused
[ ] Add a visual cue to nodes that are restarting

Here's another option, taking a cue from MoC...

When the node selector is set to 'both' then hovering over the alternatives (e.g. 'Stopped Containers' and 'Running Containers') could highlight the nodes in that state.

As a user, I want to distinguish (in the graph topology view) stopped and paused containers from running containers when all are visible, so that I can navigate faster to a given container (e.g. that I want to start).

As a user, I want to distinguish (in the graph topology view) stopped containers from containers that are running but are unconnected (no edges), when both are displayed, so that I can quickly identify whether a container is running (or not).
