Christian Biesinger a0b57563b1 Implement a thread pool
This adds a simple thread pool to gdb.  In the end, this seemed
preferable to the approach taken in an earlier version of this series;
namely, starting threads in the parallel-foreach implementation.  This
approach reduces the overhead of starting new threads, and also lets
the user control (in a subsequent patch) exactly how many worker
threads are running.
