Restart actually restarts the server
------------------------------------

                 Key: COUCHDB-709
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-709
             Project: CouchDB
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Database Core
            Reporter: Chris Anderson


This patch will cause CouchDB to actually restart the server when a POST is 
made to /_restart

The old way was unreliable as supervisors would shut things down 
asynchronously. This new way is much more brute force, which makes it more 
deterministic.

This only really effects the test suite. I'm only pushing the patch through 
Jira to see if people see room for improvements.

One improvement would be to add a timestamp for server boot time to the / 
response, but I seem to have avoided the need for that with my double GET magic.

Do note: restart now drops any temporary config, hence the change to the 
reader_acls test.
