Grace period should be documented

[torumakabe]

As described in this document, if my application does not respond to the SIGTERM message, then Container Apps control plane send SIGKILL to my container. How much grace period do I have from SIGTERM to SIGKILL?

In my testing, it seemed to be 30 seconds, similar to the default of Kubernetes terminationGracePeriod.

This information has a significant impact on implementation of graceful shutdown, so should be documented. I would appreciate it if you could consider it. Thanks!
