Merge #30896: kernel: Move background load thread to node context

bc7900f kernel: Move background load thread to node context (TheCharlatan)

Pull request description:

  The thread handle is never used by the ChainstateManager, so move it out and into the node context. Users of the kernel library now no longer have to manually join the thread when destructing the ChainstateManager.
