Small improvements to multi-instance selections

This patch fixes the documentation in a few cases and adds handling of
the situation where no instance is selected due to too restrictive
options given.

Implement multi-failover options

This patch adds the same style of multi-instance selection as in
shutdown/startup to the failover subcommand, with the exception that we
cannot failover with --node or --all (it doesn't make sense).

More sane handling of errors during failover

Currently we ignore errors on instance shutdown (on the source node)
during instance failover. We should do this only if the user gave a
command line options allowing this, as it's a dangerous thing to do.

This patch fixes this by using the same "--ignore-consistency" option...
