 clean up _process_aggregate_alerts
reorganization of shutdown dispatch including publication of DeviceStatusEvent with sub_type="device_failed_command" in case of a child failing to complete the command or failing to terminate. This case serves as a basis to follow similart pattern for other commands and transitions (TBD). Shutdown and terminate are handled child by child. Also, in the case of instruments, it is first checked that the instrument is not already in UNINITIALIZED to proceed with RESET.
fix typo: self._bring_to_uninitialized_state should be called  with
recursion=False for quit sequence.
