We began using abort() on 25d6f312ac
(5.8), which improved since we stopped using exit() with MSVC. However,
abort() with MinGW and on debug-mode MSVC's CRT calls _exit(), which
attempts to cleanly unload the DLLs, which in turn may run global
destructors.
[ChangeLog][QtCore][Important behavior changes] qFatal() no longer uses
std::abort() on Windows, as there are circumstances where global
destructors are still run after that call, leading to possible
deadlocks.
