I don't understand why you need to do it in the scope of the issue
you're intending to fix. You can start a fiber from SITERM/SIGINT signal
handler and run on_shutdown triggers from it without atexit rework,
right?

This should be done by the patch that introduces on_shutdown triggers,
otherwise it's unclear why you need a fiber here.
