/**
 * \file workqueue.c
 *
 * \brief Implements worker threads, queues of work for them, and mechanisms
 * for them to send answers back to the main thread.
 *
 * The main structure here is a threadpool_t : it manages a set of worker
 * threads, a queue of pending work, and a reply queue.  Every piece of work
 * is a workqueue_entry_t, containing data to process and a function to
 * process it with.
 *
 * The main thread informs the worker threads of pending work by using a
 * condition variable.  The workers inform the main process of completed work
 * by using an alert_sockets_t object, as implemented in net/alertsock.c.
 *
 * The main thread can also queue an "update" that will be handled by all the
 * workers.  This is useful for updating state that all the workers share.
 *
 * In Tor today, there is currently only one thread pool, used in cpuworker.c.
