feat(i18n): add windows service support and graceful shutdown

- Add native Windows service detection and signal handling
- Implement configurable shutdown timeout for graceful job completion
- Improve HTTP client with connection pooling and timeouts
- Propagate context through poller for proper shutdown coordination
- Add documentation for Windows service installation (NSSM and sc.exe)
- Add *.exe to .gitignore for Windows builds

+### Windows (NSSM or Native Service)
+
+GitCaddy Runner has native Windows service support. When running as a service, it automatically detects the Windows Service Control Manager (SCM) and handles stop/shutdown signals properly.
+
+**Option 1: Using NSSM (Recommended)**
+
+Install NSSM via Chocolatey:
+
+```powershell
+choco install nssm -y
+```
+
+Create the service:
+
+```powershell
+# Install the service
+nssm install GiteaRunnerSvc C:\gitea-runner\gitcaddy-runner.exe daemon --config C:\gitea-runner\config.yaml
+
+# Set working directory
+nssm set GiteaRunnerSvc AppDirectory C:\gitea-runner
+
+# Set environment variables
+nssm set GiteaRunnerSvc AppEnvironmentExtra HOME=C:\gitea-runner USERPROFILE=C:\gitea-runner
+
+# Configure auto-restart on failure
+sc failure GiteaRunnerSvc reset=86400 actions=restart/60000/restart/60000/restart/60000
+
+# Start the service
+sc start GiteaRunnerSvc
+```
+
+**Option 2: Native sc.exe (requires wrapper)**
+
+Create a wrapper batch file `C:\gitea-runner\start-runner.bat`:
+
+```batch
+@echo off
+set HOME=C:\gitea-runner
+set USERPROFILE=C:\gitea-runner
+cd /d C:\gitea-runner
+C:\gitea-runner\gitcaddy-runner.exe daemon --config C:\gitea-runner\config.yaml
+```
+
+**Service Management:**
+
+```powershell
+# Check service status
+sc query GiteaRunnerSvc
+
+# Start service
+sc start GiteaRunnerSvc
+
+# Stop service
+sc stop GiteaRunnerSvc
+
+# View service logs (if using NSSM with log rotation)
+Get-Content C:\gitea-runner\logs\runner.log -Tail 50
+```
+
+**Environment Variables for Windows Services:**
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `GITEA_RUNNER_SERVICE_NAME` | Override service name detection | `GiteaRunnerSvc` |
