Provides a thread pool dedicated to running blocking operations (#588)
and update `tokio-fs` to use this pool.
In an effort to make incremental progress, this is an initial step
towards a final solution. First, it provides a very basic pool
implementation with the intend that the pool will be
replaced before the final release. Second, it updates `tokio-fs` to
always use this blocking pool instead of conditionally using
`threadpool::blocking`. Issue #588 contains additional discussion around
potential improvements to the "blocking for all" strategy.
The implementation provided here builds on work started in #954 and
continued in #1045. The general idea is th same as #1045, but the PR
improves on some of the details:
* The number of explicit operations tracked by `File` is reduced only to
the ones that could interact. All other ops are spawned on the
blocking pool without being tracked by the `File` instance.
* The `seek` implementation is not backed by a trait and `poll_seek`
function. This avoids the question of how to model non-blocking seeks
on top of a blocking file. In this patch, `seek` is represented as an
`async fn`. If the associated future is dropped before the caller
observes the return value, we make no effort to define the state in
which the file ends up.

* Normalize links to docs.rs/CRATE/M.N/...
docs.rs is smart enough to show docs for the latest M.N.P release when
M.N is used in the link. For example:
https://docs.rs/mio/0.6/mio/struct.Poll.html
..will show mio 0.6.14 and later docs. While using the `M.N.*`
(ASTERISK) syntax also works, `M.N` is the more common usage, so
standarize a few existing links to that format.
* Fix missing or malformed rustdoc links
* executor lib rustdoc minor format change
* Promote tokio-threadpool crate level comments to rustdoc
* Replace hidden tokio::executor::thread_pool docs with deprecation note
* Fix typo/simplify util module rustdoc
* Reuse some tokio::executor::thread_pool rustdoc for the crate
