anaconda exiting should signal to loader/init that it's time to shut
down and that will kill X for us, yeah?

The advantage of this approach is that it's more like what a regular
program would do - we're not putting more special "pretend anaconda's in
a completely different environment" stuff in.

We could do a VT switch there, but I'd hate to add more code to kill X.
I really think we've got plenty of process control stuff in loader/init
already.
