1. appbase: rework blocking (queuing) exit signals during shutdown …

   The previous fix for blocking signals during shutdown seems to have problems on older platforms/compilers/stdlibs like gcc6. To be completely frank I couldn’t quite pinpoint the exact cause but I highly suspect it is something to do with the application instance being static and thus the ordering of static destructors being unfavorable.
   
   I’ve changed the implementation such that during startup a separate thread is run that catches the signals but after startup that thread is retired and signal handling is then handled on the main io_service. Signals end up being blocked (queued) until destruction of application’s io_service because the async_wait() will hold a shared_ptr to the signal_set. The implementation ends up being a bit long winded but means there are no shenanigans trying to clean up threads after main() has fully returned.
