Running a server constantly for a long time is an invitation to memory leaks and general instability. So ideally we would just shut down JXcore completely every once in a while in order to let it start up fresh. This would require putting some kind of native wrapper to decide when to do this, to make sure we are in the background when it happens and to then restart.

this might be a workaround for jxcore/jxcore-cordova#133 / #449. If we can restart, then when we resume from background, we could restart, and not have these issues.
@mohlsen This bug requires a full recycling of all JXcore, not just a sub-thread or sub-process. The reason being that the parent process can itself become unstable and so needs to be recycled. Nobody has figured out how to do this and Oguz wasn't suggesting it in jxcore/jxcore-cordova#133.
The issue Oguz was talking about in jxcore/jxcore-cordova#133 is that at one point apparently the ONLY way to deal with memory corruptions in iOS's network stack was to nuke JXcore. That could be handled via the sub-thread approach since the network sockets belong to the thread/process. The cost though of this approach is that we end up with two full instances of Spider Monkey and that a'int cheap. But thankfully the issue was fixed and now all we should have to do is just to make sure to shut down all the incoming and outgoing sockets before we go into background. We can keep using the existing JXcore instance when we come back.
The second bug has to do with an issue that we just ran out of time. We didn't have any time to test the behaviors needed to make sure we were acting correctly when iOS put us into the background for a few minutes before killing us. So we cut that feature. But being able to nuke JXcore won't fix the problems there. The problems were that we just needed to write dedicated tests to make sure we weren't doing anything bad and we needed to add a new event to tell us that we are going into the background but aren't quite dead yet.
