Mitsuru Kanabuchi 4e78ef2249 Add graceful stop function to ThreadGroup.stop
Currently ThreadGroup.stop() would stop both timers and threads
immediately.
However, heat-engine should stop timers before threads finished for
the purpose of graceful shutdown.

The graceful shutdown for Heat is "do process exit after stack
processing finished". Heat implemented the stack processing as threads.
We should wait its finishing for graceful shutdown's purpose.

On the one hand, Heat is using timers.
The timers have the function of make another job threads.
It means, we should stop timers before waiting threads for preventing
another thread occur by timers.

From the above, the appropriate order of Heat's graceful shutdown is:

  * stop timers for preventing new thread occur
  * wait for all threads to be finished
  * process exit

However, currently ThreadGroup class doesn't have the function of
graceful stop. So I propose the function of graceful stop.
