Does this also fix the free(): invalid pointer issue when closing a 
JavaFX application on Linux or is that unrelated?

A few of the object deallocation methods, which are called by the Objective C auto-release mechanism, use the standard `GET_MAIN_JENV` macro to get the JNI environment. The macro will print an assertion warning if Java has been detached. I instrumented the code and can see that `GlassViewDelegate::dealloc` is now called after the `GlassApplication` main loop has detached Java. Since we don't control when the dealloc method is called, it is not correct to do the assertion check in those cases. Some of the dealloc methods already skip this assertion check by grabbing the jEnv pointer directly, so we need to fix the others. I added a new variant of the macro called `GET_MAIN_JENV_NOWARN` with a comment indicating that is suitable for use by the dealloc methods.
