Enable long-running processes in ControllerExecutionBB

Instead of blocking a thread while waiting for controller response,
ControllerExecutionBB is now using camunda receive task to support
long running processes without increasing the camunda job timeout.

A new property was added to configure the gRPC client's keep alive
ping mechanism, which will identify connection issues and prevent
the process getting stuck when the controller crashes.
