1067046 - Don't try to shut down the PBackground thread until application shutdown

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: DOM: Content Processes, defect)

The PBackground thread stays alive as long as you have PBackground actors. With IndexedDB now using PBackground the main thread actor will stay alive until app shutdown, so there's no real point trying to reclaim the PBackground thread until app shutdown any more. This will also let us simplify PBackground actors a bit.

Why do we need sShutdownTimer at all?  Why not just create it when we need it?

The code there changed significantly in the meantime and there is no more ShutdownBackgroundThread here. I assume we improved the situation in some other way.
