This will be necessary in order to default to 'kernel' and then switch
to 'user' if the thread instance can no longer be properly multi
threaded.
To avoid having the same thread impl creating and destroying
GMainContext's, this also means always creating a GMainContext for the
thread-impl. When running in user-thread mode, the GMainContext is
wrapped in a wrapper source and dispatched as part of the real main
thread GMainContext, and when in kernel-thread mode, it runs
independently in the dedicated thread.
This has the consequence that the wrapper source will always have the
priority of the highest impl context GSource, but only after it has
dispatched once. Would we need it earlier than that, we either need a
way to introspect existing sources in a GMainContext and their
priorities, or manually track known sources in MetaThreadImpl.
The wrapper source will never be below 0, as that'd mean it could reach
INT_MAX priority if it had no more sources attached to it, meaning it'd
never be dispatched again.

Callbacks could be queued to be invoked either on the impl side or the
main thread side of the thread; change this to take a GMainContext,
which effectively means a callback can be queued to be invoked on any
thread that has a GMainLoop running on its own GMainContext.
Flushing is made to handle flushing callbacks synchronously on all
threads. This works by keeping a hash table of queued callbacks per
thread (GMainContext); when flushing (from the main thread), callbacks
on the main thread context is flushed, followed by synchronization with
all the other threads.
meta_thread_flush_callbacks() is changed to no longer return the number
of dispatched callbacks; it becomes much harder when there are N queues
spread across multiple threads. Since it wasn't used for anything, just
drop the counting, making life slightly easier.
Feedback to thread tasks are however always queued on the callers
thread.

This uses the queue that was introduced when migrating impl task
management from MetaThread to MetaThreadImpl, with the exception that
it's now fully used as an actual queue. It now has a GSource that sits
on the right GMainContext that is dispatched whenever there are tasks to
execute.

It's the impl side that wants to add impl side idle sources, or fd
sources, etc, so make it part of MetaThreadImpl.
This changes things to be GAsyncQueue based. While things are still
technically single threaded, the GAsyncQueue type is used as later we'll
introduce queuing tasks asynchronously, then eventually queuing across
thread barriers.

It currently does exactly what MetaKms and MetaKmsImpl did regarding the
context separation, which is to isolate what may eventually run on a KMS
thread into a separate unit. It works somewhat like a "user thread",
i.e. not a real thread, but will eventually learn how to spawn a
"kernel thread", but provide the same API from the outside.
