two_node="1" Must have been in the cluster.conf file when the cluster was
formed - that's the only way the flag inside CMAN can get set.

Once you have a 2 node cluster the only way to add a node is to remove all
nodes from the cluster and join them again without two_node set.

from 2 to 3 that needs a restart because 2 nodes is a special case.
