The only place the code checks for is_marked_for_exit() is inside of Pipeline::apply(), so by resetting exit flag at beginning of Pipeline::apply, no users of Pipeline class need to worry about the exit flag at all. It is handled completely locally within Pipeline::apply(), and could even be a local variable of Pipeline::appply() if the primitive made that straightforward (which it does not).

I did not confirm whether there was a bug related to #1275, but in thinking about it a bit, the changes proposed in this PR seems to me to simplify the thinking about the question, and make it disappear as a concern. Users of the Pipeline class don't need to know about the exit flag at all, if Pipeline::apply() correctly initializes and uses it locally.

I ran a full test suite of p4c with these changes to behavioral-model, and they all passed.
