Subject: add ability to limit concurrency (#565)

effective concurrency in zenserver can be limited via the `--corelimit=<N>` option on the command line. Any value passed in here will be used instead of the return value from `std::thread::hardware_concurrency()` if it is lower.

* added --corelimit option to zenserver
* made sure thread pools are configured lazily and not during global init
* added log output indicating effective and HW concurrency
* added change log entry
* removed debug logging from ZenEntryPoint::Run()

also removed main thread naming on Linux since it makes the output from `top` and similar tools confusing (it shows `main` instead of `zenserver`)
