When a redeploy command is being run in a composable HA environment, if there
are any configuration changes, the <bundle>_restart containers will be kicked
off. These restart containers will then try and restart the bundles globally in
the cluster.
These restarts will be fired off in parallel from different nodes. So
haproxy-bundle will be restarted from controller-0, mysql-bundle from
database-0, rabbitmq-bundle from messaging-0.
This has proven to be problematic and very often (rhbz#1868113) it would fail
the redeploy with:
2020-08-11T13:40:25.996896822+00:00 stderr F Error: Could not complete shutdown of rabbitmq-bundle, 1 resources remaining

After discussing it with kgaillot it seems that concurrent restarts in pcmk are just brittle:
"""
Sadly restarts are brittle, and they do in fact assume that nothing else is causing resources to start or stop. They work like this:
- Get the current configuration and state of the cluster, including a list of active resources (list #1)
- Set resource target-role to Stopped
- Get the current configuration and state of the cluster, including a list of which resources *should* be active (list #2)
- Compare lists #1 and #2, and the difference is the resources that should stop
- Periodically refresh the configuration and state until the list of active resources matches list #2
- Delete the target-role
- Periodically refresh the configuration and state until the list of active resources matches list #1
"""
So the suggestion is to replace the restarts with an enable/disable cycle of the resource.
Tested this on a dozen runs on a composable HA environment and did not observe the error
any longer.
