[ruby-core:122690] [Ruby Bug#21505] [Ractor] calling exit from non-main ractor will hang if main ractor waits on it

      Issue #21505 has been updated by luke-gru (Luke Gruber).

Yeah fair enough. It's probably not as complicated to fix as I initially thought.

```ruby
r = Ractor.new do
  exit
end

r.join # hangs
```

Should `exit` be allowed in ractors? It would be easiest to disallow, as the code might be tricky if we allow it.
