Self-hosted runner watchdog startup log now shows the drain-marker-file setting

What

The startup log line for the self-hosted runner's watchdog process now includes a drain-marker-file entry, reflecting the SELF_HOSTED_RUNNER_DRAIN_MARKER_FILE environment variable. If that variable isn't set, the log shows 'unset'.

Why

This makes it easier to confirm at a glance, from the startup log, whether a drain marker file has been configured for the runner.
