Don't hang on exit if rtlsdr hardware stops sending samples. Give up and exit after 30 seconds of no sample data, rather than just warning and continuing. background & discussion: https://discussions.flightaware.com/t/cpu-hikes-crash-dump1090-fa/74759 The scenario this addresses is: * Hardware wedges, USB bulk endpoint stops providing data * librtlsdr remains in rtlsdr_read_async() waiting for either USB data which never arrives, or a cancellation via _a different thread_ calling rtlsdr_cancel_async(). * main thread notices the lack of SDR data and complains * something external e.g. piaware tries a restart and sends SIGTERM * the signal handler sets Modes.exit = 1; the main thread starts waiting for receive thread termination * because we're never getting callbacks from rtlsdr_read_async(), we never call rtlsdr_cancel_async * dump1090 hangs waiting on receive thread termination To fix this, add a sdrStop() handler function where the general contract is "make the receive thread terminate". In the rtlsdr case, this calls rtlsdr_cancel_async directly, which will make rtlsdr_read_async() return even if the hardware is stuck. The main thread then calls sdrStop() before waiting for receive thread termination. Also, as discussed in the thread above, there's not really much point in continuing to run if the SDR has wedged, so bail out after 30 seconds of no sample data. Also, if pthread_timedjoin_np is available, use it in preference to pthread_join so that we do not wait indefinitely for the receive thread on shutdown. If the join times out, give up and abort() as we can't safely continue a clean shutdown while the receive thread is running.
