Cleanly destroy the signal thread on shutdown This isn't strictly necessary here, but we should probably be in the habit of safely cleaning up our helper threads. Switch the implementation from GThread to pthreads directly. The cleanest way to kill a signaling thread is to send it SIGTERM with pthread_kill, but GThread doesn't expose that and gives no way to get at the pthread_t.
