Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.**
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
(This section helps Arrow developers understand the context and *why* for this feature, in addition to the *what*)
We currently have graceful shutdown for the Ballista executors. We should have a similar behavior for the scheduler.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
When the scheduler process receives a SIGTERM (or the equivalent on non-Linux), it should initiate a graceful shutdown. This would consist of:
1. Stop accepting new jobs. If a new job is submitted return an error indicating the scheduler is shutting down.
2. Continue to accept job status requests
3. Do not shutdown until either
i. All active jobs on the scheduler are completed
ii. Some configured timeout (default 30s?) elapses
This could be extended in the future to try and "hand off" scheduling to other schedulers but that is not necessary for now.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the existing Ballista executor graceful-shutdown behavior with the scheduler's signal handling, job submission, and job status paths. Define tests for rejecting new jobs, continuing status requests, and waiting for active jobs or the configured timeout; done when SIGTERM triggers those behaviors.
