runtime: avoid CreateThread panic when exiting process

On Windows, CreateThread occasionally fails with ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED.
We're not sure why this is, but the Wine source code suggests that
this can happen when there's a concurrent CreateThread and ExitProcess
in the same process.

Fix this by setting a flag right before calling ExitProcess and
halting if CreateThread fails and this flag is set.

Updates #18253 (might fix it, but we're not sure this is the issue and
can't reproduce it on demand).
