Fix address sanitizer issue in new_worker (rx-newthread.hpp)

[luckychess]

Greetings!
Some time ago I performed checks of some project which uses RxCpp with address sanitizer and got this:

After some investigation the problem became more clear to me:

• Thread 1 gets a reference to some item in a queue (line 107) and passes it to wait_until (line 113)
• Call to wait_until releases the lock
• Thread 2 calls push (line 136)
  And after that the reference becomes invalid according to ASAN, because of a data race in an underlying queue.
  My propose is to retrieve a copy of a queue item instead of reference. It eliminates ASAN errors.
  Also ASAN blames for this only under MacOS but finds no issues on Linux. Probably because of a different queue implementation.

Another possibility suggested by @lebdron is to create a separate variable for peek.when.

[kirkshoop]

Yes, I would like to have a copy of peek.when and keep peek a reference

[luckychess]

@kirkshoop okay, I did a change

Thank you!
