Handle missing nodes and permission errors when releasing MaaS nodes

When releasing MaaS nodes a 400, 403 or 404 response means that one or more nodes had errors and none have been released. The error is that the node is no longer available, so we can ignore the error (it's already been released) but we still need to release the other nodes. 

Fixes bug 1319016.

implemented metric validation prior to storing

Before metrics are stored we do a validation check.  Validity is defined by the charm package - This pr just adds the call to the state server. The metrics tests have been updated to check the failure modes of validation and existing tests have been updated to ensure they use valid data
