10e0bff4ca Add support for multi-priority workqueues
Each piece of queued work now has an associated priority value; each
priority goes on a separate queue.

With probability (N-1)/N, the workers will take work from the highest
priority nonempty queue.  Otherwise, they'll look for work in a
queue of lower priority.  This behavior is meant to prevent
starvation for lower-priority tasks.

8ba4ba0a74 Grammar.
I grepped and hand-inspected the "it's" instances, to see if any
were supposed to be possessive.  While doing that, I found a
"the the", so I grepped to see if there were any more.

32220d38c0 Ensure worker threads actually exit when it is time
This includes a small refactoring to use a new enum (workqueue_reply_t)
for the return values instead of just ints.

a52e549124 Update workqueue implementation to use a single queue for the work
Previously I used one queue per worker; now I use one queue for
everyone.  The "broadcast" code is gone, replaced with an idempotent
'update' operation.

a82604b526 Initial workqueue implemention, with a simple test.
It seems to be working, but more tuning is needed.
