Shutdown node.js when App_Offline.htm is dropped in directory.

[ngbrown]

To unlock files being used by the Node.js process in the node_modules directory, there needs to be a way to shutdown the process when updating.

Web Deploy supports this exact scenario by adding a App_Offline.htm file before sync'ing the file changes, then removing it when done.

iisnode should check for the App_Offline.htm file and shutdown any spawed processes, and serve the App_Offline.htm file until the file is removed.

The ASP.Net Core Module does the same.

This would be a good feature to add.
