A SIGTERM can show up at any point in the ioloop, even in places which
are not prepared to handle it. This results in the process ignoring
the `sys.exit` which the SIGTERM handler calls, with an uncaught
SystemExit exception:
```

Supervisor then terminates the process with a SIGKILL, which results
in dropping data held in the tornado process, as it does not dump its
queue.
The only command which is safe to run in the signal handler is
`ioloop.add_callback_from_signal`, which schedules the callback to run
during the course of the normal ioloop. This callbacks does an
orderly shutdown of the server and the ioloop before exiting.
