[libnice] multithread g_main_loop_quit ad remove agent

[Philip Withnall]

Hi,

To ensure you receive no more callbacks for an agent, call
nice_agent_remove_stream() on all the agent's streams.

If you ever want to re-add the agent to the main loop, then using
nice_agent_attach_recv() with a null callback should work.

If, after trying the first option, you are still receiving the callback
after destroying the user, please provide us with a backtrace of the
crash.

A note about main loops: g_main_loop_quit() does not 'pause' the loop,
it stops it completely, *after* the current loop iteration has
completed. If T1 does not exit from g_main_loop_run() after you have
called g_main_loop_quit() from T2, then there is a bug in your code. You
are correct in thinking that pending sources will remain in the main
context after you have quit the main loop, and will be dispatched if the
loop is run again.
