clawbot 754728bb79 Say govips gives pixa no way to stop an encode; give AVIF's worst case
libvips can stop a running encode, but govips gives pixa no way to ask
it to, which README.md "Routes" and the Process and encode comments
now say in place of "libvips cannot stop an encode". The avifEffort
comment gives its 51 seconds as the RGB time and 110 seconds with an
alpha channel as the worst case, as README.md does.

clawbot 6352b557ec Answer 503 to a request waiting on a transcode stopped at a deadline
A request that waited for another request's transcode got that
request's deadline error when the transcode stopped at its deadline,
and both image routes answered it 500, though the waiting request's
own downstream_timeout had time left. The image service now returns
ErrProcessingTimedOut for it, which both routes answer 503 "server
busy, try again later", as when pixa is busy. README.md "Routes" says
so.

clawbot 1b0fa8981e Test the 503 for a request waiting on a transcode stopped at a deadline
A request that waited for another request's transcode, stopped at that
request's deadline, must get ErrProcessingTimedOut, which both image
routes answer 503. Declares that error so the tests build. Also tests
that Process, past its deadline before it starts, never reads its input.

clawbot 0e0b4ba654 Stop a transcode whose request has ended before it encodes (closes #243)
Process looked at its context only while it waited for a processing
slot, so a transcode went on decoding and encoding, holding its slot,
however long after its request's downstream_timeout that took.
acquireSlot now gives the slot back and returns the context's error
when the context has ended by the time it has a slot, and encode
returns that error without beginning. libvips cannot stop an encode
once it has begun, so that encode keeps its slot until it finishes.
README.md gives how long that can take per output format at the 8192
limits and no longer says the work stops when downstream_timeout ends;
TODO.md is corrected the same way.

clawbot dcb32ab697 Test that Process stops once its deadline has passed
Process looks at its context only while it waits for a processing
slot, so a request whose deadline has passed, before Process starts or
while it reads its input, still has its image decoded and encoded while
it holds the slot. The new test fails until Process returns
context.DeadlineExceeded in both cases and gives the slot back
(#243).
