This PR moves us back to rayon-style latches, and allows us to wake workers that have gone to sleep waiting for a job to complete when there is new work available.
Forte had a version of this for a long time, but it had trouble with deadlocks and I eventually removed it. This new version rewrites the latch primitive from scratch, uses only simple atomic loads and stores (not CAS operations). I'm also much more confident that it's deadlock free.
