Nadav Har'El d2ca600eec test/*/run: kill Scylla with SIGTERM
Today, test/*/run always kills Scylla at the end of the test with
SIGKILL (kill -9), so the Scylla shutdown code doesn't run. It was
believed that a clean shutdown would take a long time, but in fact,
it turns out that 99% of the shutdown time was a silly sleep in the
gossip code, which this patch disables with the "--shutdown-announce-in-ms"
option.

After enabling this option, clean shutdown takes (in a dev build on
my laptop) just 0.02 seconds. It's worth noting that this shutdown
has no real work to do - no tables to flush, and so on, because the
pytest framework removes all the tables in its own fixture cleanup
phase.

So in this patch, to kill Scylla we use SIGTERM (15) instead of SIGKILL.
We then wait until a timeout of 10 seconds (much much more than 0.02
seconds!) for Scylla to exit. If for some reason it didn't exit (e.g.,
it hung during the shutdown), it is killed again with SIGKILL, which
is guaranteed to succed.

This change gives us two advantages

1. Every test run with test/*/run exercises the shutdown path. It is perhaps
   excessive, but since the shutdown is so quick, there is no big downside.

2. In a test-coverage run, a clean shutdown allows flushing the counter
   files, which wasn't possible when Scylla was killed with KILL -9.
