Using boost::fibers::unbuffered_channel can block the mainthread when calling mPendingCoprocs.push (LLCoprocedurePool::enqueueCoprocedure)
From the documentation:
- If a fiber attempts to send a value through an unbuffered channel and no fiber is waiting to receive the value, the channel will block the sending fiber.
This can happen if LLCoprocedurePool::coprocedureInvokerCoro is running a coroutine and this coroutine calls yield, resuming the viewers main loop. If inside
the main loop someone calls LLCoprocedurePool::enqueueCoprocedure now push will block, as there's no one waiting for a result right now.
The wait would be in LLCoprocedurePool::coprocedureInvokerCoro at the start of the while loop, but we have not reached that yet again as LLCoprocedurePool::coprocedureInvokerCoro
did yield before reaching pop_wait_for.
The result is a deadlock.
boost::fibers::buffered_channel will not block as long as there's space in the channel. A size of 4096 (DEFAULT_QUEUE_SIZE) should be plenty enough for this.

Longtime fans will remember that the "dcoroutine" library is a Google Summer
of Code project by Giovanni P. Deretta. He originally called it
"Boost.Coroutine," and we originally added it to our 3p-boost autobuild
package as such. But when the official Boost.Coroutine library came along
(with a very different API), and we still needed the API of the GSoC project,
we renamed the unofficial one "dcoroutine" to allow coexistence.
The "dcoroutine" library had an internal low-level API more or less analogous
to Boost.Context. We later introduced an implementation of that internal API
based on Boost.Context, a step towards eliminating the GSoC code in favor of
official, supported Boost code.
However, recent versions of Boost.Context no longer support the API on which
we built the shim for "dcoroutine." We started down the path of reimplementing
that shim using the current Boost.Context API -- then realized that it's time
to bite the bullet and replace the "dcoroutine" API with the Boost.Fiber API,
which we've been itching to do for literally years now.
Naturally, most of the heavy lifting is in llcoros.{h,cpp} and
lleventcoro.{h,cpp} -- which is good: the LLCoros layer abstracts away most of
the differences between "dcoroutine" and Boost.Fiber.
The one feature Boost.Fiber does not provide is the ability to forcibly
terminate some other fiber. Accordingly, disable LLCoros::kill() and
LLCoprocedureManager::shutdown(). The only known shutdown() call was in
LLCoprocedurePool's destructor.
We also took the opportunity to remove postAndSuspend2() and its associated
machinery: FutureListener2, LLErrorEvent, errorException(), errorLog(),
LLCoroEventPumps. All that dual-LLEventPump stuff was introduced at a time
when the Responder pattern was king, and we assumed we'd want to listen on one
LLEventPump with the success handler and on another with the error handler. We
have never actually used that in practice. Remove associated tests, of course.
There is one other semantic difference that necessitates patching a number of
tests: with "dcoroutine," fulfilling a future IMMEDIATELY resumes the waiting
coroutine. With Boost.Fiber, fulfilling a future merely marks the fiber as
ready to resume next time the scheduler gets around to it. To observe the test
side effects, we've inserted a number of llcoro::suspend() calls -- also in
the main loop.
For a long time we retained a single unit test exercising the raw "dcoroutine"
API. Remove that.
Eliminate llcoro_get_id.{h,cpp}, which provided llcoro::get_id(), which was a
hack to emulate fiber-local variables. Since Boost.Fiber has an actual API for
that, remove the hack.
In fact, use (new alias) LLCoros::local_ptr for LLSingleton's dependency
tracking in place of llcoro::get_id().
In CMake land, replace BOOST_COROUTINE_LIBRARY with BOOST_FIBER_LIBRARY. We
don't actually use the Boost.Coroutine for anything (though there exist
plausible use cases).

LLThread::currentID() used to return a U32, a distinct unsigned value
incremented by explicitly constructing LLThread or by calling LLThread::
registerThreadID() early in a thread launched by other means. The latter
imposed an unobvious requirement on new code based on std::thread. Using
std::thread::id instead delegates to the compiler/library the problem of
distinguishing threads launched by any means.
Change lots of explicit U32 declarations. Introduce LLThread::id_t typedef to
avoid having to run around fixing uses again if we later revisit this decision.
LLMutex, which stores an LLThread::id_t, wants a distinguished value meaning
NO_THREAD, and had an enum with that name. But as std::thread::id promises
that the default-constructed value is distinct from every valid value,
NO_THREAD becomes unnecessary and goes away.
Because LLMutex now stores LLThread::id_t instead of U32, make llmutex.h
#include "llthread.h" instead of the other way around. This makes LLMutex an
incomplete type within llthread.h, so move LLThread::lockData() and
unlockData() to the .cpp file. Similarly, remove llrefcount.h's #include
"llmutex.h" to break circularity; instead forward-declare LLMutex.
It turns out that a number of source files assumed that #include "llthread.h"
would get the definition for LLMutex. Sprinkle #include "llmutex.h" as needed.
In the SAFE_SSL code in llcorehttp/httpcommon.cpp, there's an ssl_thread_id()
callback that returns an unsigned long to the SSL library. When LLThread::
currentID() was U32, we could simply return that. But std::thread::id is very
deliberately opaque, and can't be reinterpret_cast to unsigned long.
Fortunately it can be hashed because std::hash is specialized with that type.

Use them in place of awkward try/catch test boilerplate.

Removed refs to LAPAS. Better sync with legacy regions.

Use LLStringUtil::getenv() or getoptenv() whenever we fetch a string that will
be used as a pathname.
Use LLFile::tmpdir() instead of getenv("TEMP").
As an added extra-special bonus, finally clean up $TMP/llcontrol-test-zzzzzz
directories that have been accumulating every time we run a local build!
