This work is based on:
https://patchew.org/QEMU/20220317125534.38706-1-philippe.mathieu.daude@gmail.com/

Simplify the initialization dance by running qemu_init() in the main
thread before the Cocoa event loop starts. The secondary thread only
runs only qemu_main_loop() and qemu_cleanup().

This fixes a case where addRemovableDevicesMenuItems() calls
qmp_query_block() while expecting the main thread to still hold
the BQL.

Overriding the code after calling qemu_init() is done by dynamically
replacing a function pointer variable, qemu_main when initializing
ui/cocoa, which unifies the static implementation of main() for
builds with ui/cocoa and ones without ui/cocoa.

v3: Document functions involved in startup. (Peter Maydell)

v2: Restore allow_events flag to fix the crash reported by
    Philippe Mathieu-Daudé.

As ui/cocoa does no longer override main(), ui/gtk and ui/sdl
can be enabled even ui/cocoa is enabled.

Is this thread-safe?  I think it should be something like:

- here:

     /*
      * Nothing more to do in the QEMU thread, ask the application
      * to exit.
      */
     dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
         [NSApp terminate: nil];
     });

- in verifyQuit:

     if([alert runModal] == NSAlertSecondButtonReturn) {
         with_iothread_lock(^{
             shutdown_action = SHUTDOWN_ACTION_POWEROFF;
             qemu_system_shutdown_request(SHUTDOWN_CAUSE_HOST_UI);
         });
     }
     /* and just return void */

- applicationShouldTerminate: should be just

     if (qatomic_read(&qemu_main_terminating)) {
         return NSTerminateNow;
     } else {
         dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
             [self verifyQuit];
         });
     }
     return NSTerminateCancel;

- applicationWillTerminate: can be just the qemu_thread_join

Yes, -[NSApplication terminate:] is thread-safe. Methods of 
NSApplication handle dispatches to the main thread by themselves.

Thread-unsafe classes (and more importantly, main thread only classes) 
are rather exceptional, and they are listed at:

Being thread-safe is not the same thing as deferring to the main thread
though.

Here are a couple of examples of how things can go wrong, depending on the
implementation of Cocoa:

- applicationWillTerminate is a notification, and as such will run in the
main thread, but will applicationShouldTerminate also be called only from
the main thread? If not, is it safe to show the alert in verifyQuit?

- is the secondary thread still in terminate: when applicationWillTerminate
runs, and is it waiting for applicationWillTerminate to finish? If so,
qemu_thread_join will deadlock (because the waited thread will not exit
until applicationWillTerminate returns)

In both cases the problem is not thread-unsafety of Cocoa, but
thread-unsafety of the QEMU application delegate.
