20dc3cd4a6 MINOR: pools: move the LRU cache heads to thread_info
The LRU cache head was an array of list, which causes false sharing
between 4 to 8 threads in the same cache line. Let's move it to the
thread_info structure instead. There's no need to do the same for the
pool_cache[] array since it's already quite large (32 pointers each).

By doing this the request rate increased by 1% on a 16-thread machine.

e4d1505c83 REORG: includes: create tinfo.h for the thread_info struct
The thread_info struct is convenient to store various per-thread info
without having to resort to a painful thread_local storage which is
slow and painful to initialize.

The problem is, by having this one in thread.h it's very difficult to
add more entries there because everyone already includes thread.h so
conversely thread.h cannot reference certain types.

There's no point in having this there, instead let's create a new pair
of files, tinfo{,-t}.h, which declare the structure. This way it will
become possible to extend them with other includes and have certain
files store their own types there.
