Jeff Mitchell 11ddd2290b Provide 'sys/step-down' and 'vault step-down'
This endpoint causes the node it's hit to step down from active duty.
It's a noop if the node isn't active or not running in HA mode. The node
will wait one second before attempting to reacquire the lock, to give
other nodes a chance to grab it.

Fixes #1093
