Willy Tarreau 5fe0579d49 MEDIUM: threads: start threads by groups
Till now, threads were all started one at a time from thread 1. This
will soon cause us limitations once we want to reduce shared stuff
between thread groups.

Let's slightly change the startup sequence so that the first thread
starts one initial thread for each group, and that each of these
threads then starts all other threads from their group before switching
to the final task. Since it requires an intermediary step, we need to
store that threads' start function to access it from the group, so it
was put into the tgroup_info which still has plenty of room available.

It could also theoretically speed up the boot sequence, though in
practice it doesn't change anything because each thead's initialization
is made one at a time to avoid races during the early boot. However
ther is now a function in charge of starting all extra threads of a
group, and whih is called from this group.
