Make ServerMain and ServerConnection data race free

RemoteServer and PluginManager side would need complete redesign to be
data race free and concurrent. But as that would be unlikely to be
required from DFHack I decided simpler solution that is fixing data
ownership to a thread and all ServerConnection share a single lock which
allows access to PluginManager and Core.
