When watching a batch job, automatically stop when it's finished #308

What would you like to be added: A variation of #37 , I would like stern to shut down when a job has finished running, either successful or not.

Why is this needed: I'd like to use stern as part of a sequence of commands for a script meant for manual observation - it would launch a new Job via kubectl apply and then have the logs tailed until it's finished, then clean up after itself.

As it is difficult to support the conditions of individual resources, it is practical to use scripts such as the following

stern my-job &
pid="$1"

// Wait for the job to finish

kill "$pid"
