joshsiv-mulga 49393d4c9a fix(daemon): SIGTERM preserves VMs + KillMode=process on the unit
DDIL Scenario B asserts that `systemctl restart spinifex-daemon`
preserves every guest VM so the new daemon can reattach via the
persisted local state file. The previous setupShutdown SIGTERM handler
called vmMgr.StopAll(), gracefully QMP-powering-down every guest before
the daemon exited — ~90s wall-clock and zero surviving QEMU on the
other side. CI run 25666369604 surfaced this as
`recovered instance i-... has no live QEMU PID`.

Two changes restore the Tier 1 contract:

- setupShutdown no longer calls StopAll. It still flips d.shuttingDown
  so crash/restart handlers bail out, persists state, unsubscribes from
  NATS, and exits. VMs are only stopped when coordinated cluster
  shutdown drains them — handleShutdownDrain still calls StopAll and
  flips the flag before the SIGTERM path runs. Operator-visible
  behaviour change: `systemctl stop spinifex-daemon` leaves guest VMs
  running. To stop VMs, use the cluster-shutdown topics or terminate
  via the AWS API.

- The systemd unit gains `KillMode=process` so systemd only signals the
  daemon's main PID. With the default control-group mode, QEMU
  children were killed when systemd tore down the daemon's cgroup —
  defeating the SIGTERM change above. `TimeoutStopSec=15` bounds the
  new fast-exit grace window.

Also nil-guards natsConn.Close in the shutdown path: when a daemon
restarts while NATS is unreachable (Scenario B), natsConn is nil and
the close would panic.
