Multi-site neo4j can't recover from site failure as operations manual says it can. #11216

  1. Create a causal cluster with two sites and three cores at each site, leader on the site 1
  2. Block traffic between sites so that they become isolated.
  3. Wait for Neo4j cores on site 2 to recognize that site 1 is unavailable
  4. follow the procedure in https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/3.2/clustering/causal-clustering/multi-data-center/disaster-recovery/#_procedure_for_recovering_from_data_center_loss

Martin Furmanski helped me with this on slack. There is a missing step in the procedure, step 2.5: neo4j-admin unbind. That works. Could we update the docs?
