[RFC PATCH 0/5] Demonstrate new parallel threading API

[Stefan Beller <sbeller@google.com>]

This series build on top of origin/sb/submodule-helper.
The first patch is a fixup to the last commit in the target branch
to fix a memory leak. The patch is not really part of the series, but
as I chose to build on top of that series I can fix it up as we go.

The patch 2 adds a new API to easily use a threaded work pool.

patch 3 adds the command `submodule foreach_parallel` (completely untested, RFC!)
which was the original goal of this series. But oh well, I got tricked by Peff
to prove how awesome the new API for parallel threading is, so that's shown off
in patches 4 and 5.

Note: Both patch 4 and 5 delete more lines of code than they add, improving 
readability a lot as you can focus on the actual task and not on the threading
stuff.

Any feedback welcome!
Thanks,
Stefan
