We had some test failures because crossbeam-channel may panic when trying to call recv() during thread shutdown in a drop(). This seems to be similar to this upstream bug: crossbeam-rs/crossbeam#321. This appears to be happening because recv() interacts with thread local storage, but unfortunately it seems that some operating systems may tear down thread-local storage early, rust-lang/rust#28129, which can trigger panics if trying to interact with TLS during a drop.
To avoid this issue, this switches from using a channel to signal the thread shutdown to just using the join handle (which we should have been doing anyway).
