This patch allows for multiple RRD writer threads to service the queue.
Now, rrdcached can have more simultaneous I/O requests into the kernel.
This may allow the kernel to re-order disk writes, resulting in better
disk throughput. In practice, throughput is increased by 2-3x.
The flush (-f) timer maintenance has been moved from queue_thread_main
into its own thread.
Be more careful about when to use pthread_cond_signal vs _broadcast, since
multiple threads may be waiting on &queue_cond.
