a9667b5a85 organize std lib concurrency primitives and add RwLock
* move concurrency primitives that always operate on kernel threads to
   the std.Thread namespace
 * remove std.SpinLock. Nobody should use this in a non-freestanding
   environment; the other primitives are always preferable. In
   freestanding, it will be necessary to put custom spin logic in there,
   so there are no use cases for a std lib version.
 * move some std lib files to the top level fields convention
 * add std.Thread.spinLoopHint
 * add std.Thread.Condition
 * add std.Thread.Semaphore
 * new implementation of std.Thread.Mutex for Windows and non-pthreads Linux
 * add std.Thread.RwLock

177377b6e3 rework std.ResetEvent, improve std lib Darwin integration
* split std.ResetEvent into:
   - ResetEvent - requires init() at runtime and it can fail. Also
     requires deinit().
   - StaticResetEvent - can be statically initialized and requires no
     deinitialization. Initialization cannot fail.
 * the POSIX sem_t implementation can in fact fail on initialization
   because it is allowed to be implemented as a file descriptor.
 * Completely define, clarify, and explain in detail the semantics of
   these APIs. Remove the `isSet` function.
 * `ResetEvent.timedWait` returns an enum instead of a possible error.
 * `ResetEvent.init` takes a pointer to the ResetEvent instead of
   returning a copy.
 * On Darwin, `ResetEvent` is implemented using Grand Central Dispatch,
   which is exposed by libSystem.

stage2 changes:
 * ThreadPool: use a single, pre-initialized `ResetEvent` per worker.
 * WaitGroup: now requires init() and deinit() and init() can fail.
   - Add a `reset` function.
   - Compilation initializes one for the work queue in creation and
     re-uses it for every update.
   - Rename `stop` to `finish`.
   - Simplify the implementation based on the usage pattern.

1d94a68936 add an option to compile zig in single-threaded mode
And enable it for Drone CI. I hate to do this, but I need to make
progress on other fronts.

b2f8631a3c ThreadPool: delete dead code
If this errdefer did get run it would constitute a race condition. So I
deleted the dead code for clarity.
