A solution to prevent zombie containers locally and in CI

[larroy]

Description

This PR adds mechanisms on the build scripts to cleanup docker containers when there is a cancellation, either from the user by sending SIGINT / SIGTERM or when the process inside the container ends with an error.

It also propagates the environment variables from Jenkins which are used by the process tree killer to identify runaway processes so processes inside the container are killed when the Jenkins job is stopped.

With this patch we catch SIGINT and SIGTERM and install a handler on atexit which cleans (stops) docker containers which were created during execution of the build.

We also switch to python docker API for better management of running containers.

LGTM, let's get the host AMIs changed.

[aaronmarkham]

I was hoping to see some usage info. 1) how to make a zombie; 2) how to kill it - I'd be happy to test this out.

[larroy]

I added info in the readme. Do you see it in the patch?

[KellenSunderland]

Can you run pylint and mypy on this commit again, I see some issues.

[larroy]

Done. I don't know why the PR is not updated.
