Replace sched_yield with nanosleep and abstract away spin lock logic on all
platforms
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321012
Reviewed by Yusuke Suzuki.
sched_yield is not so helpful, since it isn't guaranteed
to actually yield (unlike the macOS thread_switch) and can
cause deadlocks.
Darwin's tier setup remains mostly unchanged:
Tier 1: spinloop
Tier 2: thread_switch
Tier 3: Parking lot if available (i.e, nothing for bmalloc)
or
Tier 1: spinloop
Tier 2A: pause (avoid hammering the cache)
Tier 2B: thread_switch
(depending on the location)
Linux now has:
Tier 1: spinloop
Tier 2: waiting with backoff to avoid hammering the cache
Tier 3: parking lot OR thread_yield
Thread::yield now definitely always yields, but it is slower.
We acomplish this by making SpinBackoff, which abstracts this logic
away.
We then extend it to a few other places for consistency.
This is measured to be perf-neutral on MBA M4, Neoverse N1 (linux) and
RPI4/5 64-bit.
