stop_db and stop_subcluster graceful shutdown

When you run the admintools commands stop_db and stop_subcluster on an Eon Mode database, the default behavior is now to gracefully shut down the specified subclusters. Both commands provide override options that force immediate shutdown of the target subclusters.

For examples, see Stopping the database and Stopping a Subcluster.

Fast startup

The admintools command start_db has a new --fast option for starting Eon Mode databases. When invoked on an unencrypted database, Vertica uses startup information from cluster_config.json to expedite the startup process.
