Michał Chojnowski d301c29af5 utils: introduce alien_worker
Introduces a util which launches a new OS thread and accepts
callables for concurrent execution.

Meant to be created once at startup and used until shutdown,
for running nonpreemptible, 3rd party, non-interactive code.

Note: this new utility is almost identical to wasm::alien_thread_runner.
Maybe we should unify them.
