[esnacc-dev] [PATCH 0/2] Drop VDAThreads support

[Aaron Conole]

After looking at this code for a while, it seems like we support a
framework that doesn't make sense to maintain.  I've double checked
with one of the original contributors to this code (Pierce Leonberger)
and this is what he had to say:

    ...if I remember correctly vda_threads was a multi-threading
    abstraction layer we developed so the code within eSNACC
    wouldn't have to change from OS to OS.

Since multithreading abstraction is provided by default in C++11, and
since the esnacc compiler doesn't use these abstractions *anyway*
(seriously, I just deleted references to things - all the insertions are
in 2/2 where we need to change lines to remove continuation backslashes!),
I'm removing them.

Since it's all deletes, this series has some *tremendous* patch statistics.

I've validated this on a Fedora 25 system - but testing on OSX, Ubuntu,
and windows hosts would be appreciated.
