Adds SIGTERM listener to gracefully shutdown the server

[HarryEMartland]

Kubernetes and other process managers send a SIGTERM to applications to give them time to shut down. This change adds a listener to this event which shuts the server down gracefully.

@dougwilson sorry I must have missed a notification adding the tags. When you say needs tests what kind of tests would you be looking for? Thanks

Change in 0db2765 seems to fix backward compatibility. Not very sure if @dougwilson want to implement extra test for SIGTERM case 🤔

Great idea @HarryEMartland

[UlisesGascon]

maybe @dougwilson can re-run the tests for Job #792.3. Seems like there was a error on node-sass building process (not relevant to the PR change) Direct Link

Yes, we need to add tests to test suite when new feature added or bug fixed.

If someone could give me some pointers on how to test this I would greatly appreciate it. The issue is only really noticeable if a request takes a decent amount of time.

In sudo code I would want to test something like this;

Start app
Make a request to a slow endpoint
Send SIGTERM to process
Wait for the request to finish
Verify the request returned successfully
Verify the process exited

I have had a play with the existing tests and can see that there is code already sending SIGTERM. I am however unsure of how to add a new endpoint with a delay in it.
