Implement proper shutdown (aka STOPPING state)

In STOPPING state, the primary:
1. rejects all clients and any new node
2. finalize remaining transactions
   (i.e. those for which a tcp_finish was received)
3. finally shut down all nodes of the cluster

 Shutting down
 -------------
 
-There is no administration command yet to stop properly a running cluster.
-So following manual actions should be done:
+Before shutting down NEO, all clients like Zope instances should be stopped,
+so that cluster become idle. This is required for multi-DB setups, to prevent
+critical failures in second phase of TPC.
 
-a. Make sure all clients like Zope instances are stopped, so that cluster
-   become idle.
-b. Stop all master nodes first with a SIGINT or SIGTERM, so that storage nodes
+A cluster (i.e. masters+storages+admin) can be stopped gracefully by putting it
+in STOPPING state using neoctl::
+
+  neoctl -a <admin> set cluster STOPPING
+
+This can also be done manually, which helps if your cluster is in bad state:
+
+- Stop all master nodes first with a SIGINT or SIGTERM, so that storage nodes
    don't become in OUT_OF_DATE state.
-c. At last stop remaining nodes with a SIGINT or SIGTERM.
+- Next stop remaining nodes with a SIGINT or SIGTERM.

+    - Make SIGINT on primary master change cluster in STOPPING state.
     - Review PENDING/HIDDEN/SHUTDOWN states, don't use notifyNodeInformation()
       to do a state-switch, use a exception-based mechanism ? (CODE)
     - Split protocol.py in a 'protocol' module ?
