Fix the barrier logic for threads synchronization

[LoreMoretti]

As explained in this comment, we found out that the barrier logic for threads synchronization is not working properly.

This is due to the following two reasons:

1. No thread will go to the else branch if the if condition reads ((--m_count) == 1). Therefore no thread will wait.
2. The wait() function is not included in the lambda function passed to std::thread(). This means that, even if the wait command is reached, it will stop the main thread (i.e. the one which is spawning the other threads).

This PR aims at addressing these problems.

I have closed and re-opened the PR to trigger again the CI, because Windows jobs were failing (probably due to a connection error, since the download of the wget package was failing). But it seems like these Windows jobs are failing again for the same reason.

@GiulioRomualdi could you try to trigger again just the Windows jobs? I think I do not have the rights to trigger specific jobs. Thanks!

Not sure if it is a network error. Perhaps we could use curl instead of wget to download the .zip on Windows?

Related upstream issue: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/9367#issuecomment-1952245895 . There still seems to be problem: https://status.chocolatey.org/ . Probably we can just ignore the Windows-vcpkg job for now, as long as Windows conda is compiling fine, I do not think we can risk regressions.

I restarted the CI as Chocolatey is now up: https://status.chocolatey.org/ .
