[Bug general/4299] New: System.exit() usage

[mark at klomp dot org]

As pointed out in a comment on bug #4174 System.exit() should not be used to
bail out in bad situations because it doesn't give the gui or the fhpd (or
anything else using frysk as library) a chance to properly notify the user what
happened (and clean things up).

The following classes use System.exit() at this time:

- frysk.rt.RunState
- frysk.util.FCatch
- frysk.util.StacktraceAction
- frysk.util.CoredumpAction
- frysk.gui.srcwin.SourceWindowFactory
- frysk.gui.common.Messages
- frysk.gui.Gui (this is probably the only class that should use it)
