lightningd: more graceful shutdown.

Be more graceful in shutting down: this should fix the issue where
bookkeeper gets upset that its commands are rejected during shutdown,
and generally make things more graceful.

1. Stop any new RPC connections.
2. Stop any per-peer daemons (channeld, etc).
3. Shut down plugins.
4. Stop all existing RPC connections.
5. Stop global daemons.
6. Free up peer, chanen HTLC datastructures.
7. Close database.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Changelog-Changed: Plugins: RPC operations are now still available during shutdown.
