Fix behavior of Terminate Threads setting

Setting the Terminate Threads setting to Yes (default is No) is described as having the following effect: "Determines when a threaded step fails. All other active thread blocks in the same project are stopped", which is what we want to happen. Refer to https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/rational-build-forge/8.0?topic=administration-system-configuration-settings 

However, we have experienced that when this setting is set to Yes, a failing threaded step does NOT fail the project if it is followed by a threaded step that completes successfully before the failing step. 

We have to be able to rely on the Build Forge run result being accurate. We now have to eyeball the log of every successful run to ensure it does not contain a failed step.

Refer to Case TS013662089. People I worked with on this include:

Brad Galla
Raghavendra Baskar
Ansuman Mahapatra
