[PATCH v6 0/3] util/thread-pool: Expose minimun and maximum size |

As discussed on the previous RFC[1] the thread-pool's dynamic thread
management doesn't play well with real-time and latency sensitive
systems. This series introduces a set of controls that'll permit
achieving more deterministic behaviours, for example by fixing the
pool's size.
We first introduce a new common interface to event loop configuration by
moving iothread's already available properties into an abstract class
called 'EventLooopBackend' and have both 'IOThread' and the newly
created 'MainLoop' inherit the properties from that class.
With this new configuration interface in place it's relatively simple to
introduce new options to fix the even loop's thread pool sizes. The
resulting QAPI looks like this:
-object main-loop,id=main-loop,thread-pool-min=1,thread-pool-max=1
Note that all patches are bisect friendly and pass all the tests.

Changes since v5:
- Add 'Since' versioning to MainLoopProperties
Changes since v4:
- Address Markus' comments WRT qom.json
Changes since v3:
- Avoid duplication in qom.json by creating EventLoopBaseProperties.
- Fix failures on first compilation due to race between
event-loop-base.o and qapi header generation.
Changes since v2:
- Get rid of wrong locking/waiting
- Fix qapi versioning
- Better commit messages
Changes since v1:
- Address all Stefan's comments
- Introduce new fix
Nicolas Saenz Julienne (3):
Introduce event-loop-base abstract class
util/main-loop: Introduce the main loop into QOM
util/event-loop-base: Introduce options to set the thread pool size
