Title:
  nova-api should shutdown gracefully

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):

Status in oslo-incubator:

Bug description:
  In IceHouse, An awesome feature got implemented: graceful shutdown
  nova service, which can make sure in-process RPC request got done
  before kill the process.

  But nova-api not support graceful shutdown now, which can cause
  problem when do upgrading. For example, when a request to create an
  instance was in-progress, kill the nova-api may lead to quota not sync
  or odd database records. Especially in large-scale development, there
  are hundreds of request in a second, kill the nova-api will interrupt
  lots in-process greenlet.

  In nova/wsgi.py, when stoping WSGI service, we first shrink the
  greenlet pool size to 0, then kill the eventlet wsgi server. The work
  around is quick and easy: wait for all greenlets in the pool to
  finish, then kill wsgi server. The code looks like below:

  
  diff --git a/nova/wsgi.py b/nova/wsgi.py
  index ba52872..3c89297 100644
