Fix heap-use-after-free in index-cached with --disable-threading

If threads are disabled, either by --disable-threading explicitely, or by
missing std::thread support, you get the following ASAN error when
loading symbols:

It's happening because cooked_index_worker::wait always returns true in
this case, which tells cooked_index::wait it can delete the m_state
cooked_index_worker member, but cooked_index_worker::write_to_cache tries
to access it immediately afterwards.

Fixed by making cooked_index_worker::wait only return true if desired_state
is CACHE_DONE, same as if threading was enabled, so m_state will not be
prematurely deleted.
