Module killswitch

Killswitch.

This module implements code for shutting down cuprated after a certain timestamp has passed.

The reasoning is twofold:

1. Limiting the effects of any network errors caused by a faulty cuprated.
2. To enforce users to update alpha builds, if they choose to run them.

This behavior is limited to an alpha build; this module will be removed after a stable v1 release.

Constants

KILLSWITCH_ACTIVATION_TIMESTAMP

Functions
