    core: order destruction of singleton instances · 2cf274c0
    Thomas Haller authored
    Previously, the order of destructing singleton instances
    was undefined. Now, have singleton instances register their
    destruction via nm_singleton_instance_register().
    
    Objects that are registered later, will be destructed earlier. IOW,
    they will be destroyed in reverse order of construction.
    
    This is only a crude method to get the lifetime of singleton instances
    right by default. Having singletons ref other singletons to keep them
    alive gives more control over the lifetimes of singletons. This change
    of having a defined order of destruction does not conflict with taking
    references to singletons (and thus extending their lifetime).
    
    Note that previously, NMPlatform was not registered for destruction.
    We don't change that yet and intenionally leak a reference.
