Windows: fix service termination (elastic#18916)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Update the Windows service handling logic so that the service doesn't
transition to the STOPPED state until the beater is terminated.

Before this patch, a Beats service would report to be STOPPED as soon
as it received the stop request. This causes some problems during service
restarts, as the new service would start while the old one was still cleaning
up.

Fixes elastic#18914
