Async procedures are intended as helpers that perform a very restricted
task, and the caller usually has to manage them in a larger context.
Conceptually, the async procedure is not concerned with the "bigger
picture" in whose context it is run. When it dies, it is not supposed
to destroy this "bigger picture", but rather only its own limit view
of the world. On POSIX, the async procedure is run in its own process,
and exiting this process naturally had only these limited effects.
On Windows (or when ASYNC_AS_THREAD is set), calling die() exited the
whole process, destroying the caller (the "big picture") as well.
This fixes it to exit only the thread.
Without ASYNC_AS_THREAD, one particular effect of exiting the async
procedure process is that it automatically closes file descriptors, most
notably the writable end of the pipe that the async procedure writes to.
The async API already requires that the async procedure closes the pipe
ends when it exits normally. But for calls to die() no requirements are
imposed. In the non-threaded case the pipe ends are closed implicitly
by the exiting process, but in the threaded case, the die routine must
take care of closing them.
Now t5530-upload-pack-error.sh passes on Windows.

On Windows, async procedures have always been run in threads, and the
implementation used Windows specific APIs. Rewrite the code to use pthreads.
A new configuration option is introduced so that the threaded implementation
can also be used on POSIX systems. Since this option is intended only as
playground on POSIX, but is mandatory on Windows, the option is not
documented.
One detail is that on POSIX it is necessary to set FD_CLOEXEC on the pipe
handles. On Windows, this is not needed because pipe handles are not
inherited to child processes, and the new calls to set_cloexec() are
effectively no-ops.

Obviously, this function was never called with two arguments in Windows
code sections, but this will be the case in a subsequent patch.

There exist already a number of static functions named 'report', therefore,
the function name was changed.

When "git submodule summary" is run without any argument, we default to
compare the state of index with the HEAD, but tried to shift out $1 that
does not exist (and worse yet, we didn't use it).
