 The transport programs (client, server, and server-webrtc) have some
 obsolete handler-counting code that tries to keep the process alive until
 all ongoing connections have terminated. This is a remnant of an earlier
 version of pt-spec that prescribed different handling of SIGINT and
 SIGTERM, and required this behavior on SIGTERM. pt-spec has since changed
 to no longer mention SIGINT, and prescribe immediate shutdown (terminating
 ongoing handlers) on SIGTERM.

 Here's background: comment:5:ticket:26389.
