This is routinely mis-used to continuously run scripts,
causing performance problems.
This should be replaced with more specific handlers, or possibly timers.

Object Info node can be useful to give some variation to a single material assigned to multiple instances. This patch adds support for Viewport and BI.

We can not re-use anything for such pools, because we will know nothing about whether
the main thread is sleeping or not. So we identify such threads as 0, but we don't
use main thread's TLS.
This fixes dead-locks and crashes reported by Luca when doing playblasts.
Utility to get a file/dir in the path by index,
supporting negative indices to start from the end of the path.
Without this it wasn't straightforward to get
the a files parent directory name from a filepath.
Suspended pools allows to push huge amount of initial tasks
without any threading synchronization and hence overhead.
This gives ~50% speedup of cached rigid body with file from
T50027 and seems to have no negative affect in other scenes
here.
The idea is to allow some amount of tasks to be pushed from working
thread to it's local queue, so we can acquire some work without doing
whole mutex lock.
This should allow us to remove some hacks from depsgraph which was
added there to keep threads alive.
This allows us to avoid TLS stored in pool which gives us advantage of
using pre-allocated tasks pool for the pools created from non-main thread.
Even on systems with slow pthread TLS it should not be a problem because
we access it once at a pool construction time. If we want to use this more
often (for example, to get rid of push_from_thread) we'll have to do much
more accurate benchmark.
