MDEV-5205 - MariaDB does not start if more than 128 cpu's are available

- thread_pool_size command line option upper limit increased to 100 000
  (same as for max_connections)
- thread_pool_size system variable upper limit is maximum of 128 or
  the value given at command line
- thread groups are now allocated dynamically

Different limit for command line option and system variable was done to
avoid additional mutex for all_groups and threadpool_max_size.
