Race-condition during scrolling thread creation
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194016

Reviewed by Saam Barati.

There is a threading issue during the initialization
of the scrolling thread caused by createThreadIfNeeded
locking only on the creation of the thread but not on
the initialization of the main loop, making it possible
for a thread to try to spin the main loop before it's
created.

Fix this by unconditionally waiting on the main loop
being created. This makes it necessary to always hold
the lock, even when the thread is already created.

         Use ScrollingNodeID in more places, and improve the name of a ScrollableArea function that returns a ScrollingNodeID
