dc878e3098 isc_async_run() runs events in reverse order
when more than one event was scheduled in the isc_aysnc queue,
they were executed in reverse order. we need to pull events
off the back of queue instead the front, so that uv_loop will
run them in the right order.

note that isc_job_run() has the same behavior, because it calls
uv_idle_start() directly. in that case we just document it so
it'll be less surprising in the future.

New event loop handling API
This commit introduces new APIs for applications and signal handling,
intended to replace isc_app for applications built on top of libisc.

* isc_app will be replaced with isc_loopmgr, which handles the
  starting and stopping of applications. In isc_loopmgr, the main
  thread is not blocked, but is part of the working thread set.
  The loop manager will start a number of threads, each with a
  uv_loop event loop running. Setup and teardown functions can be
  assigned which will run when the loop starts and stops, and
  jobs can be scheduled to run in the meantime. When
  isc_loopmgr_shutdown() is run from any the loops, all loops
  will shut down and the application can terminate.

* signal handling will now be handled with a separate isc_signal unit.
  isc_loopmgr only handles SIGTERM and SIGINT for application
  termination, but the application may install additional signal
  handlers, such as SIGHUP as a signal to reload configuration.

* new job running primitives, isc_job and isc_async, have been added.
  Both units schedule callbacks (specifying a callback function and
  argument) on an event loop. The difference is that isc_job unit is
  unlocked and not thread-safe, so it can be used to efficiently
  run jobs in the same thread, while isc_async is thread-safe and
  uses locking, so it can be used to pass jobs from one thread to
  another.

* isc_tid will be used to track the thread ID in isc_loop worker
  threads.

* unit tests have been added for the new APIs.
