Splitting out thread safe iteration logic means regular iteration
isn't checking for the thread-safe pointer each step.
This gives a small but measurable overall performance gain of 2-3%
when redrawing a high-poly mesh.

Support thread local storage for BLI_task_parallel_mempool,
as well as support for the reduce and free callbacks.
mempool_iter_threadsafe_* functions have been moved into a private
header thats only shared between task_iterator.c and BLI_mempool.c
so the TLS can be made part of the iterator array without having to
rely on passing in struct offsets.
Add test task.MempoolIterTLS that ensures reduce and free
are working as expected.

Ref D11548
A single threaded task with thread data over 8192 bytes would leak.
While this didn't happen in practice, it could cause issues in the
future.
The free call for `task_parallel_iterator_do` wasn't running
if callbacks weren't set, also not an issue in practice but avoids
potential problems in the future too.
Under some circumstances using task isolation can cause deadlocks.
Previously, our task pool implementation would run all tasks in an
isolated region. Now using task isolation is optional and can be
turned on/off for individual task pools.
Task pools that spawn new tasks recursively should never enable
task isolation. There is a new check that finds these cases at runtime.
Right now this check is disabled, so that this commit is a pure refactor.
It will be enabled in an upcoming commit.
This fixes T88598.

This patch enables TBB as the default task scheduler. TBB stands for Threading Building Blocks and is developed by Intel. The library contains several threading patters. This patch maps blenders BLI_task_* function to their counterpart. After this patch we can add more patterns. A promising one is TBB:graph that can be used for depsgraph, draw manager and compositor.
Performance changes depends on the actual hardware. It was tested on different hardwares from laptops to workstations and we didn't detected any downgrade of the performance.

This is not currently used and will take some work to support with TBB, so
remove it until we have a new implementation based on TBB.
Fixes T76005, parallel range pool tests failing.
Ref D7475
In preparation of TBB we need to split the finalize function into reduce
and free. Reduce is used to combine results and free for freeing any
allocated memory.
The reduce function is called to join user data chunk into another, to reduce the
result to the original userdata_chunk memory. These functions should have no side
effects so that they can be run on any thread.
The free functions should free data created during execution (TaskParallelRangeFunc).
