Description
I couldn't find anything in the docs or in the repo except for the timeout option. However, I'd like to kill the process while it's still happening (for example, if the user requests the process to be stopped, I would like to free up the memory).
I've noticed that there's `_vips_shutdown()` being used internally and I wonder if this function does the above?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the timeout option in the documentation and repository, then trace the internal use of _vips_shutdown(). The issue needs a defined early-cancellation behavior, including whether an AbortController-style API is appropriate and how processing and memory cleanup should be verified.
