[Starcluster] Using starcluster as a library

[Austin Godber]

For those following along at home, lsof clearly revealed open SSH 
connections (actually I only checked with lsof with a single node 
cluster).  So if I loop over all the clusters nodes and do _ssh.close() 
on each one, the program exits.  I didn't see anything in cli.py that 
does this and there was no other obvious function that appeared to do 
this.  I am not sure if this is intended behavior or I have missed 
something.

Have a good day,
Austin


PS - The following is a working program.  It was tested on a two node 
cluster, I am not sure whether it was just the master or other nodes 
that had connections open.


#!/usr/bin/env python
import starcluster.config

if __name__ == "__main__":
     cfg = starcluster.config.StarClusterConfig(); cfg.load()
     sc =  cfg.get_cluster_template('smallcluster', 'mynewcluster')
     if sc.is_valid():
         sc.start(create=True)
     # close all SSH connections so we can exit:
     for node in sc._nodes:
         node._ssh.close()
