Add ability to wait for Thread to Abort

[MichelZ]

We have the need to wait for a cancelled work item to be aborted, so here's the ability to join to the aborted thread until it exits or there is a timeout

Hi,

You shouldn't rely on Thread.Abort() in your code. It is even not supported in latest .net core versions see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.threading.thread.abort

Check the PostExecuteWorkItemCallback delegate to know when a work item completed (successfully or cancelled). You can use the event SmartThreadPool.OnThreadTermination to know when a thread is terminating. You can check if a work items is cancelled during its execution using SmartThreadPool.IsWorkItemCanceled

Also note that the code build fails, probably on missing modified file in the commit.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately we don't have a choice here as we're calling thirdparty code with no cancellation support, and it sometimes just hangs.

Right. Fixed
