Currently if the server is killed the _to_server thread exits and
closes both _client_conn and _server_conn. However, this does not
cause the _to_client thread to stop. As a result an extra "xpra"
process stays listed in the process list and users don't notice that
the server has died. Only if you try to interactive with any of the
windows will the proxy write something to the server socket and notice
the problem.

This patch stops _to_client thread when _to_server thread exits and
vice versa. Calling _Thread_stop() is bit ugly but the alternative
would probably be to use some sort of polling mechanism instead of
blocking read() in _copy_loop.

Sorry, I accidentally created two bugs when I only wanted one. Please close this and look at bug #5 instead.

If you click a window when the server has died you get

 Exception in thread Thread-2:

After this patch you get

Connection lost

immediately when the server dies
