Summary: The TERM signal handling in ksmserver invokes functions which are not async-signal safe, like Qt functions and C++ destructors. Moreover, the signal handling can occur in other than the main thread, which leads to Qt complaining about functions being invoked from the wrong thread. Such a crash can be seen in a report of [[ bug 384316 |https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384316 ]]. To fix both of these issues, this change makes the signal handling use the self-pipe trick, which signals the need for termination to the main thread by writing to a special-purpose file descriptor. The main loop then takes care of the termination. This is mostly inspired by [[ http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/unix-signals.html ]]. Note that `QApplication::quit` already does what we need when destroying the server, particularly deleting `the_server`/calling `cleanUp()`.
