* web application. If the web application is terminated, but the servlet
* container is still running, then the file cleaner thread will still exist,
* posing a memory leak.
*
* This method allows the thread to be terminated. Simply call this method
* in the resource cleanup code, such as
* {@code javax.servlet.ServletContextListener.contextDestroyed(javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent)}.
* Once called, no new objects can be tracked by the file cleaner.
