Don't call exit() from atexit handlers on Darwin
Summary: Calling exit() from an atexit handler is undefined behavior. On Linux, it's unavoidable, since we cannot intercept exit (_exit isn't called if a user program uses return instead of exit()), and I haven't seen it cause issues regardless. However, on Darwin, I have a fairly complex internal test that hangs roughly once in every 300 runs after leak reporting finishes, which is resolved with this patch, and is presumably due to the undefined behavior (since the Die() is the only thing that happens after the end of leak reporting). In addition, this is the way TSan works as well, where an atexit handler+Die() is used on Linux, and an _exit() interceptor is used on Darwin. I'm not sure if it's intentionally structured that way in TSan, since TSan sets up the atexit handler and the _exit() interceptor on both platforms, but I have observed that on Darwin, only the _exit() interceptor is used, and on Linux the atexit handler is used.
