Description:
STOP INSTANCE is supposed to be synchronous, i.e. it should wait for
an instance to stop and return after the instance stopped. It can also
return if the instance didn't stop within shutdown_interval (which can
be specified in the configuration).

However, for the user there is no way to tell whether an instance
has been stopped successfully, or STOP INSTANCE timed out.

It's proposed to return the status, like we START INSTANCE is doing it:
  - "Instance stopped" -- when STOP INSTANCE completed successfully;
  - "Instance killed (or timed out)" -- when STOP INSTANCE timed out.

How to repeat:
1. START INSTANCE mysqld2; # start nonguarded instance
2. Restart IM;
3. STOP INSTANCE mysqld2; -- it will be timed out.
