Runner exit logs distinguish retiring from shutting down

Self-hosted runner exit logs now say whether it retired or shut down, and abort signals trigger it too.

What

The self-hosted runner's exit log lines are now built from the exit mode, so they say "defer ceiling passed" or "retire time passed" and "shutdown grace" or "retire grace" rather than one fixed retire message. An abort signal now also triggers the transition. Operator log text only.

Evidence

defer ceiling passed

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
