Comment:

 I think it is ready for review.

 However, I'd like to note few things. For one, I believe we will need to
 have more flexible boss (with list of subsystems to have running, it isn't
 possible not to start stats for example, or start auth without xfrout),
 therefore this is kind of short to middle term solution.

 Another one is, there are no tests for part of it - the part that shuts
 down or starts the processes. I added only little bit of it, and I would
 need to create a whole testing framework for it (to tests respawns,
 starts, stops, etc). It seems an overkill for this task right now (because
 this is a nice feature that the users might notice, so I want it to get to
 the Y2 release). I'll create another ticket for it and put it to the A
 team backlog, where I describe some ideas about how the boss could be
 generalized and tested.

 I propose this changelog entry:

 {{{
 [bug]      vorner
 It is possible to start and stop resolver and authoritative server without
 restart of the whole system. Change of the configuration (Boss/start_auth
 and Boss/start_resolver) is enough.
 }}}
