[patch] Stop image thumbnail loading if thumbnails are not shown

[holgermappt]

Here is a patch that adds the function stopLoadThumbs() that stops geo image thumbnail loading if thumbnails are not needed anymore. The thumbnail load is continued the next time loadThumbs() is called. The JOSM revision needs to be inserted for function stopLoadThumbs() (@since tbd).

Please review the thread synchronization, my experience in that area is limited. I think a new thumbnail loader should wait if another loader is still running, but such an implementation might be too complicated compared to the actual problem.

One corner case is a sequence of setUseThumbs(true); setUseThumbs(false); setUseThumbs(true); .... That would start multiple threads, each thread with a new ThumbsLoader instance. They potentially all work on the same image in parallel. Most of the loaders will stop after they processed one file.

An other corner case is a layer merge while thumbnails are loaded. The thumbnail loaders are stopped on both layers in that case. thumbsLoaded will be false in that case and the next paint() will continue to load thumbnails if useThumbs is true.

The patch originates from ticket:10854.
