Detailed Description

FreeRTOS implementation of the DelegateMQ IThread interface.

This class provides a concrete implementation of the IThread interface using FreeRTOS primitives (Tasks and Queues). It enables DelegateMQ to dispatch asynchronous delegates to a dedicated FreeRTOS task.

Key Features:

• Task Integration: Wraps a FreeRTOS xTaskCreate call to establish a dedicated worker loop.
• Queue-Based Dispatch: Uses a FreeRTOS QueueHandle_t to receive and process incoming delegate messages in a thread-safe manner.
• Thread Identification: Implements GetThreadId() using TaskHandle_t to ensure correct thread context checks (used by AsyncInvoke optimizations).
• Graceful Shutdown: Provides mechanisms (ExitThread) to cleanup resources, though typical embedded tasks often run forever.
