#849: slave-initiated graceful shutdown

Comment(by catlee):

 A few open questions here:

 How to signal the buildbot process that we want to shutdown?  SIGUSR1?
 Touch a file?  Listen on a port?

 I don't know if the slave really knows when it's idle.  It should most
 likely tell the master it wants to gracefully shutdown, and then the
 master can take care of not sending it new builds and telling the slave to
 shutdown when it's ready.  How can the slave tell the master it wants to
 shut down?
