Classic queue shutdown now uses a much higher timeout (up to 10 minutes instead of 30 seconds).
In environments with many queues (especially mirrored queues) and many consumers this means that the chance of queue indices rebuilding after node restart is now substantially lower.
GitHub issue: #3409
Quorum queues no longer leak memory and disk space when a consumer is repeatedly added and cancelled on an empty queue.
GitHub issue: #3445
