Summary l3fwd-cat: calling unsafe functions from signal handler

Target Milestone ---

The handling of SIGINT and SIGTERM in the l2fwd-cat example is unsafe and
non-portable.  The signal handler could be called by any thread at any time.

The current method (copy/paste from testpmd?) is to call cat_exit() in the
signal handler. This may race with other threads and cause problems.

The better solution is to set a flag in signal handler and then do the shutdown
aft er the main loop exits.
