 shutdownHaskellAndExit: just do a normal hs_exit() (#5402)

 If we want to keep the RTS alive a bit longer by having another
 hs_init()/hs_exit() pair in a library that will destruct itself after
 main() has exited, then the forced shutdown here thwarts that.

 I think we just "fixed" #5402 in the wrong way before, this should be
 better.
