With this patch, it's possible to shut down guests in parallel. Parallel
startup was possible before, but this functionality was not documented
properly.

To enable parallel startup set the START_DELAY to 0.

Parallel shutdown has a configurable parameter PARALLEL_SHUTDOWN that
defines the number of machines being shut down in parallel. Enabling
this feature changes the semantics of SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT parameter that is
applied as a cumulative timeout to shutdown all guests on a URI.

Change the last sentence:

If this is 0, then there is no time out (use with caution, as guests
might not respond to a shutdown request).  (Hmm, maybe we want to
default to 300 [5 minutes], and document our non-zero default, so that
you have to explicitly request 0 to avoid timeouts.)

ACK with those lines added to shutdown_guests_parallel, and the wording
change to the config file, and with the optional change to the timeout
default.


The same check for the timeout was also needed in shutdown_guest(). I added the checks, changed the wording in the config file and set the default SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT to 300 (with a note in the docs) and pushed the result.

Thanks

Peter
