/** \file
* Define a simple thread pool utility that is modeled on the api of
* std::async(); since implementation details of std::async
* can vary considerably, with no control over thread spawning, this class
* allows us to use the same model but with precise control over thread usage.
*
* A ThreadPool is created with a specific number of threads, which will never
* vary over the life of the ThreadPool. (If created without a specific number
* of threads, it will attempt to use threads == number-of-cores.)
*
* Each async request will go into a queue, and will be serviced by the next
* available thread from the pool.
*
* The ThreadPool's dtor will block until all currently-executing tasks
* to finish (but won't schedule any more).
*
* Note that this is a fairly simpleminded ThreadPool, meant for tasks
* that are fairly coarse (e.g. different tasks in a test); it is specifically
* *not* intended to be the underlying implementation for Halide runtime threads
