Jeff Hostetler d06055501b fsmonitor--daemon: stub in health thread
Create another thread to watch over the daemon process and
automatically shut it down if necessary.

This commit creates the basic framework for a "health" thread
to monitor the daemon and/or the file system.  Later commits
will add platform-specific code to do the actual work.

The "health" thread is intended to monitor conditions that
would be difficult to track inside the IPC thread pool and/or
the file system listener threads.  For example, when there are
file system events outside of the watched worktree root or if
we want to have an idle-timeout auto-shutdown feature.

This commit creates the health thread itself, defines the thread-proc
and sets up the thread's event loop.  It integrates this new thread
into the existing IPC and Listener thread models.

This commit defines the API to the platform-specific code where all of
the monitoring will actually happen.

The platform-specific code for MacOS is just stubs.  Meaning that the
health thread will immediately exit on MacOS, but that is OK and
expected.  Future work can define MacOS-specific monitoring.

The platform-specific code for Windows sets up enough of the
WaitForMultipleObjects() machinery to watch for system and/or custom
events.  Currently, the set of wait handles only includes our custom
shutdown event (sent from our other theads).  Later commits in this
series will extend the set of wait handles to monitor other
conditions.

Contributed Software

Although these pieces are available as part of the official git
source tree, they are in somewhat different status.  The
intention is to keep interesting tools around git here, maybe
even experimental ones, to give users an easier access to them,
and to give tools wider exposure, so that they can be improved
faster.

I am not expecting to touch these myself that much.  As far as
my day-to-day operation is concerned, these subdirectories are
owned by their respective primary authors.  I am willing to help
if users of these components and the contrib/ subtree "owners"
have technical/design issues to resolve, but the initiative to
fix and/or enhance things _must_ be on the side of the subtree
owners.  IOW, I won't be actively looking for bugs and rooms for
enhancements in them as the git maintainer -- I may only do so
just as one of the users when I want to scratch my own itch.  If
you have patches to things in contrib/ area, the patch should be
first sent to the primary author, and then the primary author
should ack and forward it to me (git pull request is nicer).
This is the same way as how I have been treating gitk, and to a
lesser degree various foreign SCM interfaces, so you know the
drill.

I expect that things that start their life in the contrib/ area
to graduate out of contrib/ once they mature, either by becoming
projects on their own, or moving to the toplevel directory.  On
the other hand, I expect I'll be proposing removal of disused
and inactive ones from time to time.

If you have new things to add to this area, please first propose
it on the git mailing list, and after a list discussion proves
there are some general interests (it does not have to be a
list-wide consensus for a tool targeted to a relatively narrow
audience -- for example I do not work with projects whose
upstream is svn, so I have no use for git-svn myself, but it is
of general interest for people who need to interoperate with SVN
repositories in a way git-svn works better than git-svnimport),
submit a patch to create a subdirectory of contrib/ and put your
stuff there.
