Change the way Valgrind exits.
Until now, valgrind waited for ld.so to call the .fini code in
valgrind.so, and took this as its cue to switch back to the real CPU
for the rest of the journey.
This is a problem if ld.so subsequently calls other .so's .fini code
and threading is in use, because they do pthread_* calls which cannot
be handled by valgrind's libpthread.so without valgrind actually being
active.
So we ignore the call to valgrind's .fini code, and run the program
all the way up to the point where it calls syscall exit() to
disappear. This makes the order in which the .fini sections are run
irrelevant, since Valgrind has control during all of them, and so
threading facilities are still available for all of them.
This change means Mozilla 1.0RC1 now exits a lot more cleanly than it
did.
