Manual startup and MSCS

For a queue manager managed by MSCS, we must set the startup attribute to manual. This ensures that the IBM MQ MSCS support can restart the MQSeries Service without immediately starting the queue manager.

The IBM MQ MSCS support needs to be able to restart the service so that it can perform monitoring and control, but must itself remain in control of which queue managers are running, and on which machines. See Moving a queue manager to MSCS storage for more information.
