This means that they'll be interrupted at shutdown, rather than holding everything up when shuckle is overloaded.
We also detect idle connection or slow transmitting data.
See <https://mazzo.li/posts/stopping-linux-threads.html> for tradeoffs
regarding how to terminate threads gracefully.
The goal of this work was for valgrind to work correctly, which in turn
was to investigate #141. It looks like I have succeeded:

The goal here is to not have constant wakeups due to timeout. Do
not attempt to clean things up nicely before termination -- just
terminate instead. We can setup a proper termination system in
the future, I first want to see if this makes a difference.
Also, change xmon to use pipes for communication, so that it can
wait without timers as well.
Also, `write` directly for logging, so that we know the logs will
make it to the file after the logging call returns (since we now
do not have the chance to flush them afterwards).
