Matthew Jordan d79c68d3fb main/stasis: Allow subscriptions to use a threadpool for message delivery
Prior to this patch, all Stasis subscriptions would receive a dedicated
thread for servicing published messages. In contrast, prior to r400178
(see review https://reviewboard.asterisk.org/r/2881/), the subscriptions
shared a thread pool. It was discovered during some initial work on Stasis
that, for a low subscription count with high message throughput, the
threadpool was not as performant as simply having a dedicated thread per
subscriber.

For situations where a subscriber receives a substantial number of messages
and is always present, the model of having a dedicated thread per subscriber
makes sense. While we still have plenty of subscriptions that would follow
this model, e.g., AMI, CDRs, CEL, etc., there are plenty that also fall into
the following two categories:
* Large number of subscriptions, specifically those tied to endpoints/peers.
* Low number of messages. Some subscriptions exist specifically to coordinate
  a single message - the subscription is created, a message is published, the
  delivery is synchronized, and the subscription is destroyed.
In both of the latter two cases, creating a dedicated thread is wasteful (and
in the case of a large number of peers/endpoints, harmful). In those cases,
having shared delivery threads is far more performant.

This patch adds the ability of a subscriber to Stasis to choose whether or not
their messages are dispatched on a dedicated thread or on a threadpool. The
threadpool is configurable through stasis.conf.

/*!
* \brief A simplistic router for \ref stasis_message's.
*
* Often times, when subscribing to a topic, one wants to handle different
* message types differently. While one could cascade if/else statements through
* the subscription handler, it is much cleaner to specify a different callback
* for each message type. The \ref stasis_message_router is here to help!
*
* A \ref stasis_message_router is constructed for a particular \ref
* stasis_topic, which is subscribes to. Call
* stasis_message_router_unsubscribe() to cancel that subscription.
*
* Once constructed, routes can be added using stasis_message_router_add() (or
* stasis_message_router_set_default() for any messages not handled by other
* routes). There may be only one route per \ref stasis_message_type. The
* route's \a callback is invoked just as if it were a callback for a
* subscription; but it only gets called for messages of the specified type.
