vapi: add vapi_stop_rx_thread()
Type: improvement Allow vapi to signal to an application's RX thread that it should wake up and exit. Before disconnecting from VPP's API, libvlibmemoryclient inserts an rx_thread_exit message into the client's own input queue to cause its RX thread to wake up from its blocking dequeue and exit cleanly. Add a function to vapi's API which will allow libvapi client applications which have an RX thread waiting for incoming messages using vapi_wait() to do the same thing. The existing libvlibmemoryclient code which does this was moved to a separate function and made available for vapi_stop_rx_thread() to call. Also fixed some inconsistencies in indentation of function prototypes in vapi.h to make checkstyle.sh happy.
