Allow tapes in broken state to be reclaimed

Problem to solve

At the moment it's not possible to reclaim BROKEN tapes.

cta-admin tape reclaim --vid I52240
Cannot reclaim tape I52240 because it is not on ACTIVE or DISABLED state

This was intentional, but we would like to change it and allow BROKEN tapes to be reclaimed, provided that the same requirements applied to ACTIVE and DISABLED are met.

This way, we should be able to reclaim a BROKEN tape while keeping it at a final state.
