Stephan Bergmann ad0779ed5e Handle uno_threadpool_dispose in parallel with uno_threadpool_putJob
While tracking down the issue discussed in the commit message of
78dc7d982b "Remove a potentially already enqueued
response when a bridge is disposed", it occurred to me that there should be a
race in those

  uno_threadpool_putJob(
    bridge_->getThreadPool(), ...);

calls in binaryurp/source/reader.cxx, when the bridge gets disposed (through
some other thread) between the time the bridge_->getThreadPool() call checks for
the bridge being disposed (in which case it would throw a DisposedException) and
the actual uno_threadpool_putJob call.

I tried to catch that with a previous incarnation of this change
(<https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/96120/1> "Jenkins Slides Through the
Tiny Window"), but couldn't---presumably because this race would be very rare
after all, and the issue I was chasing turned out to be caused by something
different anyway.  Nevertheless, I wanted to address this potential race now.

We can only reliably check for disposed'ness after having locked ThreadPool's
m_mutex in uno_threadpool_putJob -> ThreadPool::addJob, but at which time we can
no longer indicate this condition to the caller---uno_threapool_putJob is part
of the stable URE interface, has a void return type, and should not throw any
exceptions as it is a C function.  However, if the bridge gets disposed, any
threads that would wait for this job (in cppu_threadpool::JobQueue::enter,
either from cppu_threadpool::ORequestThread::run waiting to process new incoming
calls, or from a bridge's call to uno_threadpool_enter waiting for a respose to
an outgoing call) should already learn about the bridge being disposed by
falling out of cppu_threadpool::JobQueue::enter with a null return value.  So it
should be OK if uno_threadpool_putJob silently discards the job in that case.
