	Turns out that one of our WorkQueue integration tests was relying on the incorrect runFor() behavior that we just fixed, so the test broke. Now that runFor() doesn't wait around for work to be posted, use an explicit wait loop instead. To support this, add LLCond::get(functor), where functor must accept a const reference to the stored data. This new get() returns whatever the functor returns, allowing a caller to peek at the stored data. Also use universal references for all remaining LLCond functor arguments.
2021-11-24	DRTVWR-546, SL-16220, SL-16094: Undo previous glthread branch revert.	Nat Goodspeed
	Reverting a merge is sticky: it tells git you never want to see that branch again. Merging the DRTVWR-546 branch, which contained the revert, into the glthread branch undid much of the development work on that branch. To restore it we must revert the revert. This reverts commit 029b41c0419e975bbb28454538b46dc69ce5d2ba.

	Also make workqueue_test.cpp more robust.
2021-10-07	SL-16024: Add LL::WorkQueue for passing work items between threads.	Nat Goodspeed
	A typical WorkQueue has a string name, which can be used to find it to post work to it. "Work" is a nullary callable. WorkQueue is a multi-producer, multi-consumer thread-safe queue: multiple threads can service the WorkQueue, multiple threads can post work to it. Work can be scheduled in the future by submitting with a timestamp. In addition, a given work item can be scheduled to run on a recurring basis. A requesting thread servicing a WorkQueue of its own, such as the viewer's main thread, can submit work to another WorkQueue along with a callback to be passed the result (of arbitrary type) of the first work item. The callback is posted to the originating WorkQueue, permitting safe data exchange between participating threads. Methods are provided for different kinds of servicing threads. runUntilClose() is useful for a simple worker thread. runFor(duration) devotes no more than a specified time slice to that WorkQueue, e.g. for use by the main thread.
