Rollup merge of #137480 - fuzzypixelz:fix/124466, r=workingjubilee

Return unexpected termination error instead of panicing in `Thread::join`

There is a time window during which the OS can terminate a thread before stdlib can retreive its `Packet`. Currently the `Thread::join` panics with no message in such an event, which makes debugging difficult; fixes #124466.
