(as discussed on IRC :)
it is for setting up an alternative shutdown callback that will
provide info (as a string) to clients about why the JACK shutdown
occured (e.g. removal of firewire/USB device). a "get..() function
won't work for various reasons that i don't want to get into via
email.
however, i don't recall there being a decision to deprecate
on_shutdown(), since many clients (most!) don't care about the reason.
there's no reason that messages about it should be in the log/err
output.
