Ondřej Surý 1fe391fd40 Make all tasks to be bound to a thread
Previously, tasks could be created either unbound or bound to a specific
thread (worker loop).  The unbound tasks would be assigned to a random
thread every time isc_task_send() was called.  Because there's no logic
that would assign the task to the least busy worker, this just creates
unpredictability.  Instead of random assignment, bind all the previously
unbound tasks to worker 0, which is guaranteed to exist.

/*! \file isc/task.h
* \brief The task system provides a lightweight execution context, which is
* basically an event queue.
*
* When a task's event queue is non-empty, the
* task is runnable. A small work crew of threads, typically one per CPU,
* execute runnable tasks by dispatching the events on the tasks' event
* queues. Context switching between tasks is fast.
*
* \li MP:
* The module ensures appropriate synchronization of data structures it
* creates and manipulates.
* The caller must ensure that isc_taskmgr_destroy() is called only
* once for a given manager.
*
* \li Reliability:
* No anticipated impact.
*
* \li Resources:
* TBS
*
* \li Security:
* No anticipated impact.
*
* \li Standards:
* None.
*
* \section purge Purging and Unsending
*
* Events which have been queued for a task but not delivered may be removed
* from the task's event queue by purging the event.
*
* Purging calls isc_event_free() on the matching events.
*
