[Bug libgcj/7532] shutdown hooks not run upon abnormal termination

The signal handler (here called "shutdown()") can't legally be unwound if
::java::lang::System::exit throws an exception.  Studying the libgcj runtime
code, I'm not sure if this might happen.  The Java class lib spec says "This
method never returns normally", suggesting that an exceptional return is possible.
We could simply catch everything in shutdown() and then call exit().  With that
and the removal of ::gcj::reduceSignalUsage this patch would be fine for POSIXy
systems.
