Bug 336193 handle SIGTERM in SignalPipeWatcher then in the main thread to quit

What about the attempt in this patch? I intercept SIGTERM using "SignalPipeWatcher" as suggested, then I pass a task to the main thread so it calls "nsIAppStartup::Quit(nsIAppStartup::eForceQuit)".

That may seem convoluted, it would look better if it was done in one go.

I don't have any experience on the Firefox codebase, so I may completely misunderstand the issues. If "Quit" is executed by the main thread (like it would be after a keyboard key for example), wouldn't it avoid the aforementioned problems with the locks.
