Given that 2-node clusters are probably still the 90%+ majority, I
wonder if we shouldn't make them easier somehow.

One of the caveats is that no-quorum-policy defaults to a value that
doesn't make sense for <=2 nodes; maybe we should change that again?

And maybe we can add generic code to pacemaker/corosync to avoid fence
loops: don't start automatically after an unclean restart, generic delay
of the not-yet-DC node if a 2-node cluster splits, etc.

What other caveats are there?
