+//  1. close the `stopc` channel, so that all error handlers (child
+//     goroutines) won't send back any errors anymore;
+//  2. stop the http and grpc servers gracefully, within request timeout;
+//  3. close all client and metrics listeners, so that etcd server

+//  4. call the cancel function to close the gateway context, so that
+//     all gateway connections are closed.
+//  5. stop etcd server gracefully, and ensure the main raft loop
+//     goroutine is stopped;
+//  6. stop all peer listeners, so that it stops receiving peer connections
+//     and messages (wait up to 1-second);
+//  7. wait for all child goroutines (i.e. client handlers, peer handlers
+//     and metrics handlers) to exit;
+//  8. close the `errc` channel to release the resource. Note that it's only
+//     safe to close the `errc` after step 7 above is done, otherwise the
+//     child goroutines may send errors back to already closed `errc` channel.
