signal: Guarantee that SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT is set on process exit

Browse Source 
Track how many threads have not started exiting and when the last
thread starts exiting set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT.

This guarantees that SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT will get set when a process
exits.  In practice this achieves nothing as glibc's implementation of
_exit calls sys_group_exit then sys_exit.  While glibc's implemenation
of pthread_exit calls exit (which cleansup and calls _exit) if it is
the last thread and sys_exit if it is the last thread.

This means the only way the kernel might observe a process that does
not set call exit_group is if the language runtime does not use glibc.

With more cleanups I hope to move the decrement of quick_threads
earlier.
