Say what ending a process sets off, and look at the process again before ending it

[donislawdev]

Package B2 of the stability report: a forced stop says what ending the process sets off, and looks at the process once more before ending it.

What changes for a user

• Refused: a process Windows marks critical, a service with "restart the computer" anywhere in its recovery actions, and recovery actions or a critical flag that cannot be read. Ending such a process takes the whole machine down.
• Warned in the preview: a service Windows starts again by itself after the ending, a recovery action that runs a program, and a recovery action of a kind the tool cannot name. New warning kinds in the plan JSON: recoveryRestarts, recoveryRunsProgram, recoveryUnnamed.
• Just before the ending: the process is read again. A service that moved into it, or a running service outside it that began to depend on something inside it, means nothing is ended and the step says why.
• After the ending: an entry seen in a new process is reported at once as ended and started again ("outcome": "failed", errorCode 0), instead of after the whole limit as timedOut.

How it was checked

• Recovery actions read on this machine against sc.exe qfailure - 312 of 312 services agree.
• A test service on a throwaway machine, before and after: with a restart at 0 ms the ending step timed out after 60 096 ms and now reports in 71-102 ms. With a restart at 3000 ms the step succeeds as before and the preview now says the service will come back.
• bws kill --dry-run on this machine: Spooler and Schedule get the new warnings, RpcSs and mpssvc are refused as critical processes.
• Narrow test run green in the core, command line, window, architecture and integration projects. 63 of 63 mutation entries caught.

Not checked

• The refusal for a changed process on a real service manager (the command line has no gap between preview and run to change it in) - covered by the test double only.
• Restart the computer as a recovery action, live.
• The window on a screenshot. The full gate.
