[RFC] Don't block on finishing demangling msymbolsusers/cbiesinger/all-perf-patches

Instead, do it all on a background thread and only block when we actually
need the result.

Note, this is a speedup but not quite as much as I was expecting; still
looking into what causes the waits. However, let me know if you have thoughts
on the concept!
