shared_future has a large performance overhead compared to just handing off
a function pointer to another thread to run. Providing that as the default
interface isn't great, and it's trivial to build that interface on top of
the other. The reason to do this now is we'd like to reduce the differences
between the llvm and lld thread pool so they can be merged.
