This is a simple worker thread implementation derived from the ray_threads
code in the ray module. The ray_threads code should be discarded in a
future commit now that rototiller can render fragments using threads.
If a module supplies a prepare_frame() method, then it is called
per-frame to prepare a rototiller_frame_t which specifies how to divvy
up the page into fragments. Those fragments are then dispatched to a
thread per CPU which call the module's rendering function in parallel.
There is no coupling of the number of fragments in a frame to the number of
threads/CPUs. Some modules may benefit from the locality of tile-based
rendering, so the fragments are simply dispatched across the available CPUs
in a striped fashion.
Helpers will be added later to the fb interface for tiling fragments, which
modules desiring tiled rendering may utilize in their prepare_frame()
methods.
This commit does not modify any modules to become threaded, it only adds
the scaffolding.

Adding more context to the name in anticipation of adding a prepare_frame()
method to the module struct.

Make consistent with the source directory structure naming.

This is unoptimized, with a palette slapped together in vim, but still
pretty neat!

Restoring some organizational sanity since adopting autotools.
