Add a method to Application which forces a shutdown

[oheger]

So far, there is no way to prevent that an application listener prevents an application to shutdown. There may be use cases where this is important, for instance when an application has to shutdown gracefully because the JVM is stopping.

The functionality can be provided by adding an overloaded shutdown() method to Application with a boolean force parameter.
