Locust distributed noweb does not honour --num-request option

See original GitHub issue

Description of issue / feature request

When running Locust distributed, with the master in --no-web, the “Number of requests to perform” (-n NUM_REQUESTS, --num-request=NUM_REQUESTS) option is not honoured.

Expected behavior

After sending the specified number of requests, the master should stop all connected slaves, then print out its stats and exit

Actual behavior

Everything keeps running right past the specified requests limit

Environment settings (for bug reports)

OS: Linux (Debian Stretch)
Python version: 2.7.13
Locust version: 0.8.1

Steps to reproduce (for bug reports)

Start the master with the --no-web and specify number of slaves to expect, number of users (clients), hatch rate and max number of requests
Start each slave
Wait for the number of requests to reach the max number specified in step 1
Observe the number of requests exceed the number of requests specified

tests are now based on time rather than number of requests.
version 0.8.1 removed the --num-requests/-n option in favor of --run-time/-t

This change was introduced in 0.8.1, but the docs state that it is changed in 0.9. We will fix the docs and also add this to the changelog.
