Improve kittens thread safety and shutdown with core

The bools could use acquire&release memory order or even relaxed but I
didn't think code was worth auditing for such low level optimizations.
Sequantial consistent is fast enough but much harder to use incorrectly.

The timeLast is protected by CoreSuspender lock. plugin_update is only
called when CoreSuspender lock is held.

The last_menu is protected by trackmenu_flg loads and stores.
