Summary [Qt] Crash when purging the scratch buffer for the shadow

The purge timer might stop or fire after the application is destroyed, and thus causes a crash.

Comment on attachment 65036 [details] Patch Andreas kindly suggested on IRC that the problem is solved easier by making ShadowBuffer a child of QCoreApplication::instance(). This leads me into thinking, maybe we should fix our shared timer instead so that application destruction stops and closes pending timers. Clearing the review flag while thinking about this.

Apparently the problem is because TimerBase/Timer relies on thread global data, which is gone already after the application instance is destroyed. Thus, any static object can't use TimerBase/Timer with a risk of crashing.
