Add a handler to kill a query

[akoshelev]

In our testing with external parties, it became quite evident that bouncing helpers if query fails is far from having good experience for people who run the test. We need to have an ability to kill queries that failed on one or more helper and restart the runs.

This change does exactly that - adding a /query_id/kill handler that will respond with immediately aborting the task that runs an IPA query.

How to terminate a query?

if helper address is helper.com, one can terminate a query by sending a POST request to

http(s)://helper.com/query/0/kill

For local testing it can be done easily with curl

curl -X POST http://localhost:3002/query/0/kill

if query is killed successfully, the following response is provided by the helper

{"query_id":"0","status":"killed"}

Thanks for adding this!! It's going to be really helpful. Can you also add an example of how to run this.

Also, (n00b qn) I am supposing we would get a query id whenever a query is run to call this API?

good point! I've updated the overview section to show how to terminate a query. Please let me know if something is not clear

thank you! this is awesome.

it would be worthwhile to also add a subcommand to the report collector binary that calls this on all helpers in a network file, but I can take that as a work item in follow up.

Great idea, this can totally be a separate PR to keep things manageable
