Threads and thread polls thought for 8.0

Hi all,

There's a thing that has been bugging me for years, and maybe it's time to
change/break it with 8.0.

The fact that thread_pool_min/max is per pool is generally pretty confusing
to users. Could we consider retiring them and have simpler thread_min/max
parameters that would be split evenly across pools?

It's a bit more code, but it would save me a few discussions when
teaching/supporting new users :-)
