mining-proxy needs graceful death instead of panic

[bcral]

The mining-proxy seems to be panicking on closure. This makes test coverage data impossible to retrieve with llvm-cov.

This same issue used to exist on the pool and TProxy until it was fixed by #432

Please tag as "good first issue"!

@bcral i’d like to work on this.

[Priceless-P]

@bcral Just to be sure, this is the file that needs to be worked on for this issue right?

[bcral]

@Priceless-P Yes, that's correct.
You may want to check with @darricksee first - he may have already started on this.

[darricksee]

I haven't and probably won't get to it soon.

[darricksee]

Just a heads-up @Priceless-P - to implement this the status-channel also needs to be added to the mining-proxy before getting to this issue. You can certainly add both with this issue - take a look at how the status-channel is used in the pool role. It's basically a mechanism for the application to signal the main thread to terminate if one of the tasks has an error.

Okay. Thank you for letting me know. @darricksee
