Stop a transcode whose request has ended before it encodes (closes #243)

Process looked at its context only while waiting for a processing
slot, so a transcode kept its slot and worked on after its request's
downstream_timeout. acquireSlot now gives the slot back when the
context has ended by the time it has one, and encode returns the
context's error without beginning. govips gives pixa no way to stop
libvips once an encode has begun, so that encode keeps its slot. A
request waiting on a shared transcode stopped at the first request's
deadline is answered 503, not 500. README.md "Routes" says both.
