Stephan Bergmann 6ddde10b40 rhbz#1036877: Join Java AsynchronousFinalizer thread well before exit
AsynchronousFinalizer was originally added as
870a4401c0 "INTEGRATION: CWS mtg1: #i57753# Avoid
long-running finalize methods" referring to
<https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=57753> " Fix JNI-UNO bridge so
that the JVM doesn't run out of memory when a destructor locks the SolarMutex."

It is unclear to me how relevant "If JVMs are getting more mature and should no
longer have problems with long-running finalize methods, this class could be
removed again" really is in practice.  After all, advice on hotspot-gc-devel is
to avoid finalize() if possible
(<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-gc-dev/2014-June/010215.html>
"Re: History of finalizer execution and gc progress?").  So stick with this
approach of home-grown draining for now (where a home-grown approach using
PhantomReferencens would need a dedicated draining thread, too, so would not
have much benefit over the existing code in practice).

Timely termination of AsynchronousFinalizer threads is achieved by using a
dedicated thread per bridge and joining it in the remote bridge's dispose()
resp. the JNI environment's new java_env_dispose.

/**
* Helper class to asynchronously execute finalize methods.
*
* <p>Current JVMs seem not to be robust against long-running finalize methods,
* in that such long-running finalize methods may lead to OutOfMemoryErrors. This
* class mitigates the problem by asynchronously shifting the bodies of
* potentially long-running finalize methods into an extra thread. Classes that
* make use of this in their finalize methods are the proxies used in the
* intra-process JNI UNO bridge and the inter-process Java URP UNO bridge (where
* in both cases finalizers lead to synchronous UNO release calls).</p>
*
* <p>If JVMs are getting more mature and should no longer have problems with
* long-running finalize methods, this class could be removed again.</p>
