Subject: native-comp: confirm-exit-emacs warns about active processes when
 compiling
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2020 14:24:44 -0800

Severity: minor

Steps to reproduce, on the native-comp branch:

0. rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/eln-cache
1. emacs -Q
2. C-x C-c
3. Press "y" (I am sure I want to quit)

A prompt is now shown with this text:
"Active processes exist; kill them and exit anyway? (y or n) "

The processes are all native-comp processes.

Expected result: No prompt is shown.  The native-comp processes are
recognized and killed automatically.

I also agree the customize look like the best option, 54df918ad1 adds
`comp-async-query-on-exit' setting it to nil as default.

Please have a look to the docstring I've added and let me know in case
needs improvent, my docstring skills are worst than my coding one's.

Closing the bug in the meanwhile.

Thanks
