705f66a9ca Account for missing change on commit "Remove SimpleThreadPool and..."
"... always use {NonBlocking}ThreadPool". It seems the non-blocking
implementation was me the default/only one, but a reference to the old
name was left unmodified. Fix that.

82f0ce2726 Get rid of EIGEN_TEST_FUNC, unit tests must now be declared with EIGEN_DECLARE_TEST(mytest) { /* code */ }.
This provide several advantages:
- more flexibility in designing unit tests
- unit tests can be glued to speed up compilation
- unit tests are compiled with same predefined macros, which is a requirement for zapcc

344c2694a6 Make the non-blocking threadpool more flexible and less wasteful of CPU cycles for high-latency use-cases.
* Adds a hint to ThreadPool allowing us to turn off spin waiting. Currently each reader and record yielder op in a graph creates a threadpool with a thread that spins for 1000 iterations through the work stealing loop before yielding. This is wasteful for such ops that process I/O.

* This also changes the number of iterations through the steal loop to be inversely proportional to the number of threads. Since the time of each iteration is proportional to the number of threads, this yields roughly a constant spin time.

* Implement a separate worker loop for the num_threads == 1 case since there is no point in going through the expensive steal loop. Moreover, since Steal() calls PopBack() on the victim queues it might reverse the order in which ops are executed, compared to the order in which they are scheduled, which is usually counter-productive for the types of I/O workloads the single thread pools tend to be used for.

* Store num_threads in a member variable for simplicity and to avoid a data race between the thread creation loop and worker threads calling threads_.size().
