This, and the GUI thread prompted an further round of
design extensions and rework of the thread-wrapper.
Especially there is now support for self-managed threads,
which can be launched and operate completely detached from the
context used to start them. This resolves an occasional SEGFAULT
at shutdown. An alternative (admittedly much simpler) solution
would have been to create a fixed context in a static global
variable and to attach a regular thread wrapper from there,
managed through unique_ptr.
It seems obvious that the new solution is preferable,
since all the tricky technicalities are encapsulated now.
Add a complete demonstration for a setup akin to what we use
for the Session thread: a threaded component which manages itself
but also exposes an external interface, which is opened/closed alongside
...extract and improve the tuple-rewriting function
...improve instance tracking test dummy objects
...complete test coverage and verify proper memory handling
