When a task is terminated, it get sent a SIGTERM signal, (through standard_task_runner.terminate).
This signal is picked up by taskinstance.py, where it injects an AirflowException into the current running task.

The exception raised there is now changed into a new AirflowTaskTerminated exception.
This new exception inherits BaseException, so that it is not caught and ignored accidentally by code that tries to perform ordinary error handling. Because termination requests should not be ignored.

This will improve reliability of cancelling tasks and will make error logs and error categorization more clear about the reason for failure.

(The terminate function does eventually send SIGKILL if the
SIGTERM is ignored, but waiting for that should not be necessary)
