    Log Message:
    Immediately abort the event_thread() if started with server terminated

    Resolve this crash that happens when aborting startup while trying to bind
    TCP ports:

    Thread 11 "sbbs/events" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

    Not root-caused, just worked-around/avoided. Most likely there's a js cleanup happening (e.g. destroying the JS runtime) the same time that js_init() is executing from the event_thread(), so just avoid this by not calling js_init() while already set to terminate the server.

    Revert write_raw() back to direct, unprocessed, output

    deon (ALTERANT) reported an issue with his Viewdata terminal support after upgrading from v3.19 to the latest code in git. He's using JS write_raw() to send viewdata sequences to the remote terminal.

    I'm not sure why Deuce changed write_raw() from calling putcom(), but let's try reverting back to using putcom() to see if that resolves the reported issue
    and whatever objection Deuce may have.
