Update netmgr, tasks, and applications to use isc_loopmgr
Previously:

* applications were using isc_app as the base unit for running the
  application and signal handling.

* networking was handled in the netmgr layer, which would start a
  number of threads, each with a uv_loop event loop.

* task/event handling was done in the isc_task unit, which used
  netmgr event loops to run the isc_event calls.

In this refactoring:

* the network manager now uses isc_loop instead of maintaining its
  own worker threads and event loops.

* the taskmgr that manages isc_task instances now also uses isc_loopmgr,
  and every isc_task runs on a specific isc_loop bound to the specific
  thread.

* applications have been updated as necessary to use the new API.

* new ISC_LOOP_TEST macros have been added to enable unit tests to
  run isc_loop event loops. unit tests have been updated to use this
  where needed.

/*****
***** Module Info
*****/
/*! \file isc/task.h
* \brief The task system provides a lightweight execution context, which is
* basically an event queue.
*
* When a task's event queue is non-empty, the
* task is runnable. A small work crew of threads, typically one per CPU,
* execute runnable tasks by dispatching the events on the tasks' event
* queues. Context switching between tasks is fast.
*
* \li MP:
* The module ensures appropriate synchronization of data structures it
* creates and manipulates.
* The caller must ensure that isc_taskmgr_destroy() is called only
* once for a given manager.
*
* \li Reliability:
* No anticipated impact.
*
* \li Resources:
* TBS
*
* \li Security:
* No anticipated impact.
*
* \li Standards:
* None.
*
* \section purge Purging and Unsending
*
* Events which have been queued for a task but not delivered may be removed
* from the task's event queue by purging the event.
*
* Purging calls isc_event_free() on the matching events.
*
