    [FLINK-4625] [core] Add a safety net to forcibly terminate JVM if clean shutdown freezed.

    Resource managers like YARN send the JVM the `SIGTERM` signal to kill the process.
    
    With `SIGTERM`, the JVM shutdown hooks run, and may cause the process to freeze up during shutdown. Especially since all dependencies (like Hadoop) may install shutdown hooks (and do so), it is not in Flink's control to make sure all shutdown hooks are well behaved and never lock the JVM shutdown.
    
    This pull requests adds a shutdown hook that calls `Runtime.halt()` after a delay. This forcibly terminates the JVM if clean shutdown does not succeed within a certain time (default is five seconds).
    
    The pull request also adds tests that validate the behavior of JVM shutdown lockups and that the safety net ensures the process really shuts down.
