    Description

      Make the process of cancelling execution more robust:

      • Identify possible pitfalls and corner cases.
      • Implement force cancelling.

      **************
      Conclusions:
      Unhandled execution status transitions resulting from cancelling an
      execution via the CLI, that we indentified and tried to address:

      TERMINATED -> CANCELLING
      You cancel the execution, but by the time we try to set the status to
      CANCELLING, the execution thread had already finished, and therefore, in
      SUCCEEDED status.

      FAILED -> CANCELLING
      You cancel the execution, but by the time we try to set the status to
      CANCELLING, the execution thread had already encountered an error, and therefore, in
      FAILED state.

      TERMINATED -> CANCELLED
      Similar to #1, but with CANCELLED instead of CANCELLING.

      FAILED -> CANCELLED
      Similar to #1, but with CANCELLED instead of CANCELLING.

      In all of the above cases (#1-#4), we skip updating the execution status,
      and log that the execution already succeeded/failed before we were able
      to cancel it.

      CANCELLING -> STARTED
      You cancel the execution while it is still in pending state. Meanwhile,
      while the execution status was already set to CANCELLING, we try to set
      the execution status

      CANCELLED -> STARTED
      Similar to #5, but after the status is set to CANCELLING, it also gets
      set to CANCELLED before attempting to set it to STARTED.

      In cases #5-#6, we skip updtating the execution status, and nothing is logged.
