The GIL does not protect against race conditions when accessing attributes like self.is_metric across multiple threads. This PR introduces the ParameterUpdater class, which periodically updates parameters in a separate thread and ensures safe access through a mutex.
It also resolves a potential race condition in selfdrived by ensuring that parameters like self.CP.openpilotLongitudinalControl are accessed only in the main thread.

it's currently used in selfdrived and card, and can be extended to other modules requiring updated parameters.
