Make qemu_shutdown_requested signal-safe

qemu_shutdown_requested may be interrupted by qemu_system_killed. If the
latter sets shutdown_requested after qemu_shutdown_requested has read it
but before it was cleared, the shutdown event is lost. Fix this by using
atomic_xchg.

This provides a different fix for the problem which commit 15124e142
attempts to deal with. That commit breaks use of ^C to drop into gdb,
and so this approach is better (and 15124e142 can be reverted).
