soup: fix start/stop race in souphttpclientsink

Fix crash or hang in generic/states unit test when doing stop()
right after start(). Create main loop in the start function already
and not just in the thread function, so that stop() always has a
valid main loop to quit on. Also, calling g_main_loop_quit() before
g_main_loop_run() won't work and result in the stop function waiting
for the thread to join forever. Therefore, wait for the thread to
be ready and get the main loop running in the start() function, to
be sure stop() always works.
