[ClusterLabs] Serialize and symmetrical=true does not work together

[Ken Gaillot]

It has always been the case that symmetrical=true was ignored (with a
warning) for serialized constraints; the only recent change was making
false the default so the warning wouldn't be displayed.

If you want the services to start and stop in a particular order, you
don't want a serialized constraint, just a regular order constraint. A
serialized constraint merely says that the actions can't be done at the
same time, either one may be done first.

If you have a serialized constraint saying the resources can't start at
the same time, and want that to apply to stops as well, then you can
create a second serialized constraint explicitly specifying stop as the
action to be ordered.
