This is a continuation of #584. After discussing the design, we've agreed to first merge a simple and minimalistic version. I will be adding barriers, job weights, etc., in an upcoming version 2.

I experimented with some changes here: https://github.com/SGrondin/eio/compare/executorpool...talex5:eio:executorpool?expand=1

Needs a bit more thinking about, but this should ensure that jobs are always rejected if the pool shuts down, though it does add some cost to the fast-path.

I like this a lot. Compared to the previous version it guarantees that even egregious misuse never leads to a deadlock at the cost of complexity and a small overhead. The previous version did a "best effort" to avoid deadlocks in such cases. I'll merge it into my branch and play with it a bit.

I added more information to the mli, fixed a typo, and removed a few Fiber.yield () from the tests (fewer are needed now that we don't use Fiber.n_any). I then made use of Sync.close and recombined all those commits into one.
Sync.close really cleaned everything up. It freed up a lot of "complexity budget" to use for interesting and useful advanced features. 👏 Congrats!

@talex5 I've made a small change in the API that I believe makes the Executor_pool more powerful without significantly increasing the complexity (both of the code and to the user). It's getting late to make this change, but I think you'll agree with it.
I kept it as a separate commit to highlight it.

What about fixing the domain capacity at 1 and having users say what fraction of the CPU they expect to use? The capacity seems arbitrary and might be hard to pick if you're sharing one pool with several parts of your program.

Yes, I went back and forth on that one. I'll switch it over 👍

I pushed a couple of minor changes (cope with weight:nan and use invalid_arg). Looks good to merge now!

If a worker was cancelled just as it accepted a job, the fork would fail
and the promise would remain unresolved.

Thanks!

(I added a final minor fix to ensure the client's promise is resolved if the worker is cancelled just as it accepts a job.)

CHANGES:

New features / API changes:

- Add `Eio.Executor_pool` (@SGrondin ocaml-multicore/eio#639, reviewed by @talex5).
  Provides an easy way to distribute jobs across domains.

- Add `Fiber.first ~combine` and `Fiber.n_any` (@SGrondin @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#587).
  Allows keeping both results in the case where multiple fibers succeed.

- Add `Eio_mock.Backend.run_full` with auto-advancing mock clock (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#644, reviewed by @SGrondin).
  Simplifies testing of code using clocks.

- Add `Buf_write.printf` (@SGrondin @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#655).

- Add `Net.listening_addr` (@mefyl ocaml-multicore/eio#555, reviewed by @patricoferris @talex5).
  Useful to get the socket's address if the OS assigns it.

- Add `Promise.try_resolve` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#646).

- Remove `Cancel_hook_failed` exception (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#640).
  Didn't seem to be used and broke dscheck.

Tracing:

- Improve tracing (@TheLortex @patricoferris @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#656).
  Trace cancellation contexts and OS operations, and simplify API.

- Add labels to switches (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#661, reviewed by @SGrondin).

- `Fiber.all`: use the parent fiber (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#665, reviewed by @SGrondin).
  Cleans up the traces a bit.

Performance:

- Faster and simpler `Lf_queue` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#647, based on work by @polytypic).

- Optimise `Flow.copy` with `Buf_read.as_flow` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#663, reviewed by @SGrondin, reported by @leostera).

Bug fixes:

- Fix handling of very long IO vectors (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#653, reported by @Cjen1).

- eio_posix: use `caml_enter_blocking_section` in more places (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#654, reviewed by @SGrondin).

- eio_posix: work around `caml_unix_alloc_sockaddr` bug (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#651).

- Remove default backtrace from `Switch.fail` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#664).

Documentation:

- Organise eio.mli better (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#667).

- Fix quoting of quotes in process error messages (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#666, reviewed by @SGrondin).

- Mention Path module in File and Fs documentation (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#659, requested by @clecat).

- Minor documentation updates (@SGrondin @talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#670).

Build / internals:

- Allow closing synchronous streams (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#641, reviewed by @SGrondin).
  This isn't currently exposed in the public interface.

- Fix non-idempotent tests (@SGrondin ocaml-multicore/eio#662).

- eio_windows: add explicit fmt dependency (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#643).
