Was getting an unhandled `invalid_argument` [exception](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/thread/join) during
shutdown on my linux machine. This removes the need for a `StopBackendThread` function entirely since `jthread`
[automatically handles both checking if the thread is joinable and stopping the token before attempting to join](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/jthread/~jthread) in the case that `StartBackendThread` was never called.
