Add constants for status values
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

It would be convenient to have constants for the various status values.


**Describe the solution you'd like**

Ideally, there would be an `IntEnum` with the valid service statuses.  I imagine it'd look similar to the `http.HTTPStatus` from the stdlib.

```python
>>> from pynetdicom.status import Status
>>> Status.FAILURE
>>> <Status.FAILURE: 0xA700>
```

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

You could also use an enum of tuples or sets, so you could have e.g.

```python
>>> from pynetdicom.status import Status
>>> assert Status.PENDING == {0xFF00, 0xFF01}
```

But this isn't clearly better and is less flexible.

**Additional context**

Might want to add this after Python 2 is dropped so you don't have to conditionally install an `enum` backport.
