fix main script hanging (not exiting after exception) in some cases

Previously an unhandled exception in the main script could cause the main thread to die
but the process to hang, as the event loop thread would keep running.

example:
$ ./run_electrum -o signmessage tb1qeh090ruc3cs5hry90tev4fsvrnegulw8xssdzx "mymsg" -w ~/.electrum/testnet/wallets/test_segwit_2
