If a SyncObj is destroyed the thread running _autoTickThread is terminated with a delay. Currently there is not option to check if the thread was already terminated.
This adds the option to check the alive status of this thread and also destroy the SyncObj 'synchron' by checking the thread.
If no such thread is running the tick_thread_alive method returns False, to be able to use if without considering the way it is currently running.
