Addresses a source of deadlock in weave arising from LocalConnection's habit of exiting its queryLoop() routine while callers are trying to talk to it. After there are 16 messages in the channel, the sends block, and some of them can be from places where locks are held.
This PR introduces a second 'finished' channel, which is closed on exit from queryLoop(). All callers select on the 'finished' channel as well as the 'query' channel, and since a closed channel is always ready to read, they do not block.
This issue was found while investigating #411, but without stack traces I cannot be absolutely certain that this is the cause of that incident.
