Ensure "egosh resource open" truly open a host to take new tasks by default

When Symphony opens a host, the common sense understanding of it is "open" means the host is open to "business" i.e. to new workload. However, the current Symphony host open feature is so that, if SOAM_CLOSE_NODE_GRACEFULLY=Y also true, then hosts will remain closed until all the workload that were still running before "open" finish. This behavior in our opinion is incorrect.

When Symphony was released from the beginning, the close feature (egosh resource close) behaves very much against common sesne: "close" means if new workload keep on coming to the allocation that includes the host, then the host can continue to be used i.e. stay open, until naturarally there is no new workload needing this allocation. This behavior seems to surprise every user I know. SOAM_CLOSE_NODE_GRACEFULLY=Y is an enhancement to the original host close feature, but it seems to have introduced another contra-common-sense behavior as described above. Close and open a host should use the common sense expectation as the default behavior - to change from the default behavior, one can sure introduce various settings to handle "exceptions" - it seems the current implementation treats exceptional cases as default, as far as common sense is concerned
