Implementation experience has shown that the original plan for async wait
fds was too simplistic. Originally the async logic created a pipe internally
and user/engine code could then get access to it via API calls. It is more
flexible if the engine is able to create its own fd and provide it to the
async code.
Another issue is that there can be a lot of churn in the fd value within
the context of (say) a single SSL connection leading to continually adding
and removing fds from (say) epoll. It is better if we can provide some
stability of the fd value across a whole SSL connection. This is
problematic because an engine has no concept of an SSL connection.
This commit refactors things to introduce an ASYNC_WAIT_CTX which acts as a
proxy for an SSL connection down at the engine layer.

In theory the pthreads approach for Thread Local Storage should be more
portable.
This also changes some APIs in order to accommodate this change. In
particular ASYNC_init_pool is renamed ASYNC_init_thread and
ASYNC_free_pool is renamed ASYNC_cleanup_thread. Also introduced ASYNC_init
and ASYNC_cleanup.

There are potential deadlock situations that can occur if code executing
within the context of a job aquires a lock, and then pauses the job. This
adds an ability to temporarily block pauses from occuring whilst performing
work and holding a lock.

Clarify that you must only call this after all async jobs have
completed - otherwise you could get memory leaks.

Add some clarifications to the async documentation. Also changed
ASYNC_pause_job() so that it returns success if you are not within the
context of a job. This is so that engines can be used either asynchronously
or synchronously and can treat an error from ASYNC_pause_job() as a real
error.
