Async 'stop' command

Async 'stop' command

Don't wait for the search to finish after a 'stop'
command, but keep processing the GUI input if any.

Also explicitly wake up the main thread (that could be
sleeping) after a 'stop' or 'quit' command and do not
rely on wait_for_search_finished() doing it for us.

This patch cleans up the code and functions's definitions,
but it is risky and needs a good test under different
conditions to be sure it does not introduces hungs up.

No functional change.
