Fixes #11448

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 their clients receive updated service discovery
information and won't be gracefully drained.

Moving this PR back into draft state because I think I figured out a way to workaround the limitation I've documented here about stopping a task that's already waiting. Fixed.

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.

Nice job! No blockers. Couple of suggestions for a grammar fix in the doc text that is included in several places.
