Refactor Context initialization_status and execution_phase to state machines

This looks really interesting, and could add some powerful additional functionality (e.g, the ability to record and analyze state trajectories, which could be relevant for learning); also a way we might consider consolidating the refactored version of context with the work Katherine is putting into statefulness. For the moment, I think it makes sense to finish the refactoring I’m doing with context (which is getting close to being done) — same for Katherine’s work on statefulness — as I think these efforts are helping clean things up, and will therefore provide a better foundation for implementing state-machine functionality. However, I do think this is a good thing to start thinking about, and discuss at our weekly meetings.
