This change has `OMP_WAIT_POLICY=active` to mean that threads will busy-wait in spin loops and virtually never go to sleep.  `OMP_WAIT_POLICY=passive` now means that threads will immediately go to sleep inside a spin loop.  `KMP_BLOCKTIME` was the previous mechanism to specify this behavior via KMP_BLOCKTIME=0 or KMP_BLOCKTIME=infinite, but the standard OpenMP environment variable should also be able to specify this behavior.
