`inner` is a fitting name for variables of type named `Inner`, but in other cases I find them confusing - sometimes `inner` refers to a `Pool`, sometimes to a `Sender`. I renamed a bunch of variables named `inner` to be more descriptive.
This PR is the first step in an effort of splitting https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/722#issuecomment-439552671 into multiple PRs.

## Motivation
Now that each worker thread drives its own reactor, reactors have to be driven until the threadpool shuts down. We mustn't use the `keep_alive` setting to shut down a worker thread if it doesn't receive an event from the reactor for a certain duration of time.

Explain the context and why you're making that change. What is the problem
you're trying to solve? In some cases there is not a problem and this can be
thought of as being the motivation for your change.

## Solution
Just ignore the `keep_alive` setting when parking in `Worker::sleep`.

The futures 0.2 crate is not intended for widespread usage. Also, the
futures team is exploring the compat shim route.
If futures 0.3 support is added to Tokio 0.1, then a different
integration route will be explored, making the current code unhelpful.
This patch adds a `blocking` to `tokio-threadpool`. This function serves
as a way to annotate sections of code that will perform blocking
operations. This informs the thread pool that an additional thread needs
to be spawned to replace the current thread, which will no longer be
able to process the work queue.
Replaces homegrown Arc with std Arc
Is this safer? Unknown. At least we don't have to maintain an arc
implementation anymore. This will also make it easier to filter out tsan
false positives.
Also split task/mod.rs into multiple files.
