Fixes a potential data race in `POOL_create_advanced` where `ctx->threadLimit` was being updated without holding the `queueMutex`. Worker threads (`POOL_thread`) could access `threadLimit` before it was fully initialized, leading to undefined behavior. The update to `ctx->threadLimit` is now mutex-protected to ensure thread safety during initialization. `ctx->threadCapacity` remains unprotected, as it is only modified by the parent thread during setup.
