This enables workqueue monitoring on Windows to allow for overcommitting
threads if necessary. We use a combination of WCT (wait chain tracing)
executing workloads. If no threads are executing workloads, then we may
be in a starvation state and will initialize new threads. This should
fix the issue that has been previously reported with SPM hangs.
This is non-portable and ideally we would have an alternative approach
to tracking thread state, but this should at least unblock the current
situation.
