Shawn O. Pearce 3f1a13afb3 kill: Support killing any queued task by interrupting it
We probably don't have enough cancellation points in our code to
really kill most tasks before they fully complete.  For example,
most of the JGit upload-pack and receive-pack code path uses
NullProgressMonitor, which unfortunately does not check if the
calling thread has been interrupted.
