Production

Graceful shutdown

• if you are running transcoder in docker, make sure that celery master process has pid 1 (docker will send SIGTERM to it by default)
• when using separate celery app, send SIGUSR1 from master to workers to trigger soft shutdown handling (see video_transcoding.celery.send_term_to_children)
