iothread: workaround glib bug which hangs qmp-test

Browse Source 
Free the AIO context earlier than the GMainContext (if we have) to
workaround a glib2 bug that GSource context pointer is not cleared even
if the context has already been destroyed (while it should).

The patch itself only changed the order to destroy the objects, no
functional change at all. Without this workaround, we can encounter
qmp-test hang with oob (and possibly any other use case when iothread is
used with GMainContexts):

The glib2 bug is fixed in commit 26056558b ("gmain: allow
g_source_get_context() on destroyed sources", 2012-07-30), so the first
good version is glib2 2.33.10. But we still support building with
glib as old as 2.28, so we need the workaround.

Let's make sure we destroy the GSources first before its owner context
until we drop support for glib older than 2.33.10.
