This doesn't actually work yet, because there are some things that try to do IPDL from dtors, so we'll need a few other fixes.

OK, so we have no more threads.  Anybody who's still doing chromium threads at this point gets what they deserve.  Layers IPC got shut down earlier, so we should be good there.  Things like AsyncShutdown and ProcessHangMonitor listen for things that have already happened at this point, so no danger of crashes from them.  Browsing through all the things that happen between the two points you shuffled around, I don't see anything that should be doing IPC

Let's try it.  What do you need this for anyway?  A little bit of explanation would be nice.

So, the goal here was to turn the IPC thread into an nsThread.  Which would require it to shut down when the thread manager shuts down.  I ran out of time though :/
