Exporting PNG or JPG image prevents nodejs exit when gpu = enabled.

[themrrobert]

Problem:

• Using any of the png or jpg export functions, Canvas.toBuffer('png') or Canvas::get jpg()/png(), node.js is unable to quit.
• Process.exit() just hangs, as does Ctrl+C. Catching the interrupt signal and process.exit() also just hangs.
• I have narrowed it down to the toBuffer / get png() or jpg functions.
• svg and pdf don't seem to have this problem
• Comment out that line and it nodeJS exits no problem (except no image output...), however even quitting just after running toBuffer('png'); also fails to exit

Based on my [limited] understanding of node.js, my theory is that when gpu is enabled, the png/jpg exporter is leaving a thread open/un-reaped which is prevent node.js from exiting fully.

Worth noting, that toBuffer / get png / jpg work fine, and do not hang themselves. Everything works normally until you try and exit node/kill the script, and that's when it just refuses to exit.
(The script stops executing and freezes/hangs, but node does not exit, and requires the entire terminal to be killed or task-manager force quit.)

Workaround:

Set canvas.gpu = false before executing export commands

Environment:

skia-canvas version: 1.0.1
Node 18.12.0
GPU: GTX Titan X
nvidia driver version: 512.77
Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.19044 Build 19044
CPU i7-5960x - 64GB RAM

Important

/edit: The simplest test case exits gracefully, so there's another factor i'm trying to isolate, however what we do know is that it works fine with gpu = disabled OR if we just never export to png/jpg.

Other modules used

discord.js
pqueue
lots more. will try to narrow it down and update

FWIW, I can confirm this issue here. We must kill (SIGTERM) the node process (from inside the program code itself) to exit the application after using GPU rendering and toBuffer('png').
