In addition to the name making the blocking explicit, we changed the
signature: instead of specifying a target WorkQueue on which to run,
waitForResult() runs the passed callable on its own WorkQueue.
Why is that? Because, unlike postTo(), we do not require a handshake between
two different WorkQueues. postTo() allows running arbitrary callback code,
setting variables or whatever, on the originating WorkQueue (presumably on the
originating thread). waitForResult() synchronizes using Promise/Future, which
are explicitly designed for cross-thread communication. We need not call
set_value() on the originating thread, so we don't need a postTo() callback
lambda.

The idea is that you can call runOn(target, callable) from a (non-default)
coroutine and block that coroutine until the result becomes available.
As a safety check, we forbid calling runOn() from a thread's default
coroutine, assuming that a given thread's default coroutine is the one
servicing the relevant WorkQueue.

ThreadPool bundles a WorkQueue with the specified number of worker threads to
service it. Each ThreadPool has a name that can be used to locate its
WorkQueue.
Each worker thread calls WorkQueue::runUntilClose().
ThreadPool listens on the "LLApp" LLEventPump for shutdown notification. On
receiving that, it closes its WorkQueue and then join()s each of its worker
threads for orderly shutdown.
Add a settings.xml entry "ThreadPoolSizes", the first LLSD-valued settings
entry to expect a map: pool name->size. The expectation is that usually code
instantiating a particular ThreadPool will have a default size in mind, but it
should check "ThreadPoolSizes" for a user override.
Make idle_startup()'s STATE_SEED_CAP_GRANTED state instantiate a "General"
ThreadPool. This is function-static for lazy initialization.
Eliminate LLMainLoopRepeater, which is completely unreferenced. Any potential
future use cases are better addressed by posting to the main loop's WorkQueue.
Eliminate llappviewer.cpp's private LLDeferredTaskList class, which
implemented LLAppViewer::addOnIdleCallback(). Make addOnIdleCallback() post
work to the main loop's WorkQueue instead.

optimization bugs.

Also make workqueue_test.cpp more robust.

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.
