John Spray 76aa6936e8 tests: make Endpoint.stop() thread safe (occasional flakes in test_multi_attach) (#8110)
## Problem

Tests using the `Workload` helper would occasionally fail in a strange
way, where the endpoint appears to try and stop twice concurrently, and
the second stop fails because the pidfile is already gone.
`test_multi_attach` suffered from this.

Workload has a `__del__` that stops the endpoint, and python is
destroying this object in a different thread than NeonEnv.stop is
called, resulting in racing stop() calls. Endpoint has a `running`
attribute that avoids calling neon_local's stop twice, but that doesn't
help in the concurrent case.

## Summary of changes

- Make `Endpoint.stop` thread safe with a simple lock held across the
updates to `running` and the actual act of stopping it.

One could also work around this by letting Workload.endpoint outlive the
Workload, or making Workload a context manager, but this change feels
most robust, as it avoids all test code having to know that it must not
try and stop an endpoint from a destructor.
