[master] Patch for exceptions in non-main thread in TUI

This patch provides a fix for the case when there is an exception
in a non-main thread in text mode. It is impossible to run the
exception handler in the non-main thread for many reasons. It competes
with the main thread for standard input, it cannot run libreport
because libreport forks, it cannot quit the installer because the main
thread would still be running and probably something else I didn't hit
yet. This builds on Martin's patch for processing our message queue in
text mode.

The only remaining problem is, that when the main thread runs raw_input
another call of raw_input from the exception handler is blocked until
the first one is finished. Thus one needs to hit ENTER before entering
any input for the exception handler. This can be fixed by telling
python-meh's exception handler that it should use our raw_input instead
of the built-in one but I am leaving this for an additional patch as it
needs some changes in python-meh (and thus new build).

  Run exception handling in the main thread also in TUI
