Motivation:
The subchannel conflates closing (recoverable) with shutting down (terminal). Shutting down is initiated by a higher level (load-balancer, user) while closing happens when the subchannel closes unexpectedtly or is no longer required (i.e. becomes idle). A closed subchannel can be re-opeend, a shutdown subchannel can't. This distinction isn't clear enough in the state handling.

Result:
More robust state handling
