Retire per-thread stopRequest flag

Retire per-thread stopRequest flag

This is a per split-point request, not per-thread. When we find
a beta cut-off in current thread's split point or in or in some
ancestor of the current split point then threads should stop
immediately the search and return to idle_loop().

The check is done by thread_should_stop() that now looks only
at split point's chain.

No functional change and a good semplification.
