A recent commit removed DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_UNUSED_FUNCTION, which was
used in thread-pool.c. This patch changes this code to use
ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED instead.
Tested by rebuilding.

PR build/25268 points out that the build fails on macOS, because on
macOS the "pthread_setname_np" function takes a single argument.
This patch fixes the problem, by introducing a new adapter function
that handles both styles of pthread_setname_np.
This change also meant moving the pthread_setname_np call to the
thread function, because macOS only permits setting the name of the
current thread. This means that there can be a brief window when gdb
will see the wrong name; but I think this is a minor concern.
Tested by rebuilding on x86-64 Fedora 30, and on macOS High Sierra.
On Linux I also debugged gdb to ensure that the thread names are still
set correctly.

This adds some configury so that gdb can set the names of worker
threads. This makes them show up more nicely when debugging gdb
itself.

This adds a simple thread pool to gdb. In the end, this seemed
preferable to the approach taken in an earlier version of this series;
namely, starting threads in the parallel-foreach implementation. This
approach reduces the overhead of starting new threads, and also lets
the user control (in a subsequent patch) exactly how many worker
threads are running.
