Abstract: An FDML subprocess with a parent-grandchild relationship with the top-level process is not terminated when the top-level process is terminated.

Description/symptoms of problem:


1) Symptom:
   --------

An FDML subprocess with a parent-grandchild relationship with the top-level process isn't terminated
when the top-level process is terminated. Futhermore this subprocess can't be deleted even if
the top-level process is already gone.


2) Problem:
   --------

If a subprocess has a parent-child relationship with the calling process, life cycle operations on the parent
process instance like terminate and delete are applied to the subprocess instance as well. However, if this
subprocess again has a parent-child relationship to another process, the termination request is not propagated
to this grandchild process if the "autoDelete" option is specified on the top-level process. Furthermore,
trying to terminate the grandchild process itself results in a EngineProcessWrongKindException.


3) Solution:
   ---------

This iFix makes sure that the termination request is propagated to the grandchildren as well.
Furthermore it allows the termination and deletion of a subprocess if the corresponding top-level
process is already gone.

          removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.
