Currently, the only thing in the system that donates a thread
to run it is swift_runAndBlockThread, but we'll probably need
others. Nothing in the concurrency runtime should block via a
semaphore in this configuration.
As an outrageous hack, work around the layering problems with
using libdispatch from the concurrency library on non-Darwin
systems by making those systems use the cooperative global
executor. This is only acceptable as a temporary solution
for landing this change and setting things onto the right
long-term design.
We expect to iterate on this quite a bit, both publicly
and internally, but this is a fine starting-point.
I've renamed runAsync to runAsyncAndBlock to underline
very clearly what it does and why it's not long for this
world. I've also had to give it a radically different
implementation in an effort to make it continue to work
given an actor implementation that is no longer just
running all work synchronously.
The major remaining bit of actor-scheduling work is to
make swift_task_enqueue actually do something sensible
based on the executor it's been given; currently it's
expecting a flag that IRGen simply doesn't know to set.
