SkTaskGroup is like SkThreadPool except the threads stay in
one global pool. Each SkTaskGroup itself is tiny (4 bytes)
and its wait() method applies only to tasks add()ed to that
instance, not the whole thread pool.
This means we don't need to bring up new thread pools when
tests themselves want to use multithreading (e.g. pathops,
quilt). We just create a new SkTaskGroup and wait for that
to complete. This should be more efficient, and allow us
to expand where we use threads to really latency sensitive
places. E.g. we can probably now use these in nanobench
for CPU .skp rendering.
Now that all threads are sharing the same pool, I think we
can remove most of the custom mechanism pathops tests use
to control threading. They'll just ride on the global pool
with all other tests now.
This (temporarily?) removes the GPU multithreading feature
from DM, which we don't use.
On my desktop, DM runs a little faster (57s -> 55s) in
Debug, and a lot faster in Release (36s -> 24s). The bots
show speedups of similar proportions, cutting more than a
minute off the N4/Release and Win7/Debug runtimes.

Like yesterday's change to run CPU-parent child tasks serially in thread, this
reduces peak memory usage by improving the temporaly locality of the bitmaps we
create.
E.g. Let's say we start with tasks A B C and D
Queue: [ A B C D ]
Running A creates A' and A", which depend on a bitmap created by A.
Queue: [ B C D A' A" * ]
That bitmap now needs sit around in RAM while B C and D run pointlessly and can
only be destroyed at *. If instead we do this and push dependent child tasks
to the front of the queue, the queue and bitmap lifetime looks like this:
Queue: [ A' A" * B C D ]
This is much, much worse in practice because the queue is often several thousand
tasks long. 100s of megs of bitmaps can pile up for 10s of seconds pointlessly.
To make this work we add addNext() to SkThreadPool and its cousin DMTaskRunner.
I also took the opportunity to swap head and tail in the threadpool
implementation so it matches the comments and intuition better: we always pop
the head, add() puts it at the tail, addNext() at the head.

The main meat of things is in SkThreadPool. We can now give SkThreadPool a
type for each thread to create and destroy on its local stack. It's TLS
without going through SkTLS.
I've split the DM tasks into CpuTasks that run on threads with no TLS, and
GpuTasks that run on threads with a thread local GrContextFactory.
The old CpuTask and GpuTask have been renamed to CpuGMTask and GpuGMTask.
Upshot: default run of out/Debug/dm goes from ~45 seconds to ~20 seconds.

- refactor GYPs and a few flags
- make GPU tests grab a thread-local GrContextFactory when needed as we do in DM for GMs
- add a few more UI features to make DM more like tests
I believe this makes the program 'tests' obsolete.
It should be somewhat faster to run the two sets together than running the old binaries serially:
- serial: tests 20s (3m18s CPU), dm 21s (3m01s CPU)
- together: 27s (6m21s CPU)
Next up is to incorporate benches. I'm only planning there on a single-pass sanity check, so that won't obsolete the program 'bench' just yet.
Tested: out/Debug/tests && out/Debug/dm && echo ok

This is sort of the near-minimal proof-of-concept skeleton.
- It can run existing GMs.
- It supports most configs (just not PDF).
- --replay is the only "fancy" feature it currently supports
Hopefully you will be disturbed by its speed.
