In Android O and later, if an invalid pthread_t is passed to pthread_join,
it calls fatal().

ed16b344e75f422fb36fbfd91fb30de339475880/libc/bionic/pthread_internal.cpp#L116-L128
This patch addresses it by:
1. Always memset(0) on USB_communications_thread at the end of
CloseProxmark.
2. On Bionic, only call pthread_join on USB_communications_thread if it is
not equal to 0.
void CloseProxmark(void) {
conn.run = false;
