M. J. Fromberger f7f4067968 pubsub: simplify and improve server concurrency handling (#7070)
Rework the internal plumbing of the server. This change does not modify the
exported interfaces or semantics of the package, and all the existing tests
still pass.

The main changes here are to:

- Simplify the interface for subscription indexing with a typed index rather
  than a single nested map.

- Ensure orderly shutdown of channels, so that there is no longer a dynamic
  race with concurrent publishers & subscribers at shutdown.

- Remove a layer of indirection between publishers and subscribers. This mainly
  helps legibility.

- Remove order dependencies between registration and delivery.

- Add documentation comments where they seemed helpful, and clarified the
  existing comments where it was practical.

Although performance was not a primary goal of this change, the simplifications
did very slightly reduce memory use and increase throughput on the existing
benchmarks, though the delta is not statistically significant.
