Manager: when worker signs off, only remember specific statuses

Limit which worker statuses are remembered (when they go offline) to
those that we want to restore when they come back online. This is now
set to `awake` and `asleep`. This prevents workers from being told to go
to states that they cannot handle, such as `error` or `starting`.
