[GTK] Runtime critical warnings sometimes at start up when using the network process

This is caused by the CustomProtocolManager work queue theread. This WorkQueue is created when the CustomProtocolManager object is constructed, but destroyed when it's initialized when the UI process asks to use the network process. In this case, sometimes happens that the work queue thread that runs the main loop is executed once the object has been destroyed and the main loop pointer is null.

Patch

Detach the worker thread when the work queue is destroyed, right before deleting the main loop

WorkQueue is ref-counted. This should probably pass a RefPtr protector into the lambda.
