thread-pool: split thread_pool into thread_pool+work_group

Previously thread_pool took care of two different concerns: 1) Being able to reuse threads for work 2) Sharing threads for concurrent non-blocking computations To be able to support both of these concerns we needed to add a lot of complexity to the class. Splitting it into two, a thread_pool, that only lets us borrow threads for a while, and a work group, with which you can share threads to do non-blocking computations, made the code much easier to understand.
