Description
##### SUMMARY
Support the [`maxRunDuration`](https://docs.cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/limit-vm-runtime) option for Google Compute Engine instances.
##### ISSUE TYPE
- Feature Idea
##### COMPONENT NAME
This would be a new option `max_run_duration` under `scheduling` option and would be specified as an integer in seconds.
An additional `instance_termination_action` option would determine how the instance is terminated at the end of the run duration. Valid values are `"STOP"` or `"DELETE"`.
##### ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This would be used in situations where you want to ensure VMs are terminated after some time. For example, if you are creating VMs to execute [molecule](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/molecule/) tests.
An example call is as follows:
```yaml
- name: create a instance
google.cloud.gcp_compute_instance:
name: test_object
machine_type: n1-standard-1
zone: us-central1-a
project: test_project
scheduling:
max_run_duration: 3600
instance_termination_action: STOP
state: present
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the google.cloud.gcp_compute_instance module and its scheduling option handling. Review the linked Google Compute Engine maxRunDuration documentation and the existing instance-creation behavior. Done means scheduling accepts max_run_duration in seconds and instance_termination_action with STOP or DELETE behavior.
