This commit contains quite a few breaking changes with respect to how AsyncTasks are handled. This is necessary to allow separation of the ServerScheduler and the AsyncPool, because in the future the ServerScheduler may be removed and instead there will be isolated per-plugin sync-task schedulers - but we cannot have every plugin with its own worker pool for memory usage reasons if nothing else.
The following things have changed:
- ServerScheduler: scheduleAsyncTask(), scheduleAsyncTaskToWorker(), getAsyncTaskPoolSize(), increaseAsyncTaskPoolSize() and similar methods have all been removed. Additionally the static \$WORKERS field has been removed.
- Server: added API method getAsyncPool(). This grants you direct access to the server's AsyncPool. Calls to getScheduler()->scheduleAsyncTask() and scheduleAsyncTaskToWorker() should be replaced with getAsyncPool()->submitTask() and submitTaskToWorker() respectively.
this implementation was god-awful bad and it was entirely avoidable to make it this complicated.
This utilizes the fact that pthreads treats static properties as thread-local. AsyncTask local storage now utilizes a \SplObjectStorage stored in an AsyncTask private static field.
