provide -no-shutdown-delay flag for job/alloc stop (#11596)
Some operators use very long group/task `shutdown_delay` settings to
safely drain network connections to their workloads after service
deregistration. But during incident response, they may want to cause
that drain to be skipped so they can quickly shed load.

Provide a `-no-shutdown-delay` flag on the `nomad alloc stop` and
`nomad job stop` commands that bypasses the delay. This sets a new
desired transition state on the affected allocations that the
allocation/task runner will identify during pre-kill on the client.

Note (as documented here) that using this flag will almost always
result in failed inbound network connections for workloads as the
tasks will exit before clients receive updated service discovery
information and won't be gracefully drained.

Stop and reschedule a running allocation

# Command: alloc stop
The `alloc stop` command allows a user to perform an in-place restart of an
entire allocation or individual task.
## Usage
```plaintext
nomad alloc stop [options] <allocation>
```
The `alloc stop` command requires a single argument, specifying the alloc ID or
prefix to stop. If there is an exact match based on the provided alloc ID or
prefix, then the alloc will be stopped and rescheduled. Otherwise, a list of
matching allocs and information will be displayed.
Stop will issue a request to stop and reschedule the allocation. An interactive
monitoring session will display log lines as the allocation completes shutting
down. It is safe to exit the monitor early with ctrl-c.
When ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the
`alloc-lifecycle`, `read-job`, and `list-jobs` capabilities for the
allocation's namespace.
## General Options
@include 'general_options.mdx'
## Stop Options
- `-detach`: Return immediately instead of entering monitor mode. After the
stop command is submitted, a new evaluation ID is printed to the
screen, which can be used to examine the rescheduling evaluation using the
[eval status] command.
- `-verbose`: Display verbose output.
- `-no-shutdown-delay`
Ignore the the group and task [`shutdown_delay`] configuration so that
there is no delay between service deregistration and task
shutdown. Note that using this flag will result in failed network
connections to the allocation being stopped.
## Examples
```shell-session
$ nomad alloc stop c1488bb5
==> Monitoring evaluation "26172081"
Evaluation triggered by job "example"
Allocation "4dcb1c98" created: node "b4dc52b9", group "cache"
Evaluation within deployment: "c0c594d0"
Evaluation status changed: "pending" -> "complete"
==> Evaluation "26172081" finished with status "complete"
$ nomad alloc stop -detach eb17e557
8a91f0f3-9d6b-ac83-479a-5aa186ab7795
