[ClusterLabs] Fencing for quorum device?

[Ken Gaillot]

The quorum device cannot run resources, therefore it does not need
fencing. The point of fencing of a node is to be sure that all
resources are stopped when they can't be stopped normally.

Also, the quorum device is not a single point of failure, since one of
the nodes would have to fail as well to lose quorum. There's nothing
wrong with using a separate cluster for the quorum device to improve
resilience against multiple simultaneous failures, but it's not
necessary.
