Berthold Stoeger 8577b00cb7 core: add class that collects global objects to be deleted on exit
We have a prevailing problem with global QObjects defined as
static global variables. These get destructed after main()
exits, which means that the QApplication object does not
exist anymore. This more often than not leads to crashes.

In a quick search I didn't find a mechanism to register
objects for deletion with QApplication. Therefore, let's
do our own list of global objects that get destructed
before destroying the QApplication.
