Fix for infinite loop in motor_task preventing graceful shutdown of the IOC:

* Add a global shutdown flag + epicsAtExit() handler
* Keep a separate ELLLIST of wakeup events
* Exit the infinite loop in motor_task if shutdown flag is set

Note: Argo (AI) suggested a broken version of this fix that needed to be
manually corrected.
