[BUG-216480] Could llRequestSimulatorData( region, DATA_SIM_STATUS) return shutdown requested

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

When a region restart or shutdown is planned, scripts have no way to know till it actually shuts down.
calls to llRequestSimulatorData( region, DATA_SIM_STATUS) returns "up" till it returns "stopping" but at that time, no script on the concerned region are running anymore.
If that function would return "shutdown requested" it would be very helpful
Alternatively, this info could also be obtained by llGetEnv( "shutting down" ); as i see no reason to need it for a script in another region

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

We sometime need scripts on a region to be aware that the region shutdown was requested to take some measures like closing operations

Retlated to:

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-8426 - llGetEnv("next_region_stop") tells you the time the region will stop.

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-11223 - Change event triggers when region shutdown process starts, is interrupted and ends.
