Avoid possible livelock when stopping FileSystemWatcher in parallel
Previously, if the file watcher thread tried to stop the FileSystemWatcher when another thread was already stopping it a livelock could occur. The livelock occurred because the file watcher thread would attempt to lock a monitor that was being held by a thread that had joined the file watcher thread and was waiting for it to die. This commit avoid the livelock by narrowing the synchronization that's used when stopping the FileSystemWatcher. The monitor is used to obtain a reference to the file watcher thread in a thread-safe manner, but it is released prior to joining the file watcher thread and waiting for it to die. This will allow a parallel attempt by the file watcher thread to stop itself to succeed. Closes gh-10496pull/10547/head
