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.

Share command flags between dm and unit tests.
Also, allow dm's core to be included by itself and iOSShell.
Command line flags that are the same (or nearly the same) in DM
and in skia_tests have been moved to common_flags. Authors,
please check to see that the shared common flag is correct for
the tool.
For iOS, the 'tool_main' entry point has a wrapper to allow multiple
tools to be statically linked in the iOSShell.
Since SkCommandLineFlags::Parse can only be called once, these calls
are disabled in the IOS build.
Since the iOS app directory is dynamically assigned a name, use '@' to
select it. (This is the same convention chosen by the Mobile Harness
iOS file system utilities.)
Move the heart of dm.gyp into dm.gypi so that it can be included by
itself and iOSShell.gyp.
Add tools/flags/SkCommonFlags.* to define and declare common
command line flags.
Add support for dm to iOSShell.
