[p4dti-discussion] Fix Status Storage

The 'status' attribute of a fix is treated like a string rather than 
like the status value that it corresponds to in the job/issue. Why is 
that? Why aren't status values in fixes translated into and out of the 
defect tracker representation?

This is not just an issue that can be handled internal to the defect 
tracker classes. The translation invocation in 
replicator.replicate_fixes_dt_to_p4() is missing that would make it 
possible and replicator.translate_fix_p4_to_dt just does a direct value 
copy and there is no translate_fix_dt_to_p4 to even put the translation 
into.

It seems to me that the status displayed in the defect tracker should 
use the same vocabulary as the issues.
