input: Add input_item_parser_id_Interrupt

This effectively split input_item_parser_id_Release in 2 functions,
allowing an asynchronous cancellation to occur.
Otherwise, the input thread would invoke the callback synchronously
while the thread cancelling the preparser is blocked joining the input
thread. Both those thread are very likely to be called with a mutex
held, which would cause a deadlock.
