wait for jobs to complete when stopping the runner

When receiving a signal (INT or TERM) wait for running jobs to
complete instead of terminating them right away.

The new shutdown_timeout configuration setting can be used to force
the termination after a grace delay. If not specified or zero it will
shutdown immediately, for backward compatibility. It will be the case
with existing configuration files or when a configuration file is not
specified.

The config.yml created with the generate-config subcommand will
however default shutdown_timeout to 3h (same as timeout) because it is
likely what a new admin would expect: shutting down waits for jobs to
complete and not abort them.

 # Release Notes
 
-## 3.4.2
+## 3.5.0
 
+* [Allow graceful shutdowns](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/202): when receiving a signal (INT or TERM) wait for running jobs to complete (up to shutdown_timeout).
 * [Fix label declaration](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/176): Runner in daemon mode now takes labels found in config.yml into account when declaration was successful.
 * [Fix the docker compose example](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/175) to workaround the race on labels.
 * [Fix the kubernetes dind example](https://code.forgejo.org/forgejo/runner/pulls/169).
