Change Details

Follows a bunch of nagging from Vladislav :P This implements a thread pool. Tasks (callables) can be passed in and are executed asynchronously, in workers. Overall, this should allow replacing most of our direct std::thread usage (the exception is SetupUPnP which must be detachable for now). Design goals: - N-1 available threads intended for mostly work-stealing workflow -> maximize CPU usage - Ideally we'll hide the std::thread exception safety ugliness away. - Cancellable & continuable futures - Allow getting a dedicated worker (if affinity is desired) - Low priority queue & regular priority queue - Hopefully not too remote from the C++ 2X concurrency TS - I haven't actually checked where they are too much on this, so this won't be a 1-1 match. This capability will be used to rework D14 into something more efficient.
