    Only allow QUIT on the main thread
    
    Pedro pointed out that gdb worker threads should not react to quits.
    While I don't think that the new DWARF reader can call QUIT from a
    worker thread (and I don't think the existing minsym threading code
    can either), it seems safest to address this before checking in the
    new code.  This patch arranges for the QUIT macro to only work on the
    main thread.
