Reimplement async procedures using pthreads
On Windows, async procedures have always been run in threads, and the implementation used Windows specific APIs. Rewrite the code to use pthreads. A new configuration option is introduced so that the threaded implementation can also be used on POSIX systems. Since this option is intended only as playground on POSIX, but is mandatory on Windows, the option is not documented. One detail is that on POSIX it is necessary to set FD_CLOEXEC on the pipe handles. On Windows, this is not needed because pipe handles are not inherited to child processes, and the new calls to set_cloexec() are effectively no-ops.
