The cause of im_daemon_life_cycle.imtest random failures was the following
behaviour of some implementations of LINUX threads: let's suppose that a
process has several threads (in LINUX threads, there is a separate process for
each thread). When the main process gets killed, the parent receives SIGCHLD
before all threads (child processes) die. In other words, the parent receives
SIGCHLD, when its child is not completely dead.
In terms of IM, that means that IM-angel receives SIGCHLD when IM-main is not dead
and still holds some resources. After receiving SIGCHLD, IM-angel restarts
IM-main, but IM-main failed to initialize, because previous instance (copy) of
IM-main still holds server socket (TCP-port).
Another problem here was that IM-angel restarted IM-main only if it was killed
by signal. If it exited with error, IM-angel thought it's intended / graceful
shutdown and exited itself.
So, when the second instance of IM-main failed to initialize, IM-angel thought
it's intended shutdown and quit.
The fix is
1. to change IM-angel so that it restarts IM-main if it exited with error code;
2. to change IM-main so that it returns proper exit code in case of failure.

2) move checking of thread model to Manager from mysqlmanager.cc,

The problem was that IM stoped guarded instances on shutdown,
but didn't wait for them to stop.
The fix is to wait for guarded instances to stop before exitting
from the main thread.
The idea is that Instance-monitoring thread should add itself
to Thread_registry so that it will be taken into account on shutdown.
However, Thread_registry should not signal it on shutdown in order to
not interrupt wait()/waitpid().
