e8dfb5bf8e Add ASYNC_block_pause and ASYNC_unblock_pause
There are potential deadlock situations that can occur if code executing
within the context of a job aquires a lock, and then pauses the job. This
adds an ability to temporarily block pauses from occuring whilst performing
work and holding a lock.

8227255006 Add clarification to docs on ASYNC_free_pool()
Clarify that you must only call this after all async jobs have
completed - otherwise you could get memory leaks.

05a6347fec Tweak async documentation based on feedback
Add some clarifications to the async documentation. Also changed
ASYNC_pause_job() so that it returns success if you are not within the
context of a job. This is so that engines can be used either asynchronously
or synchronously and can treat an error from ASYNC_pause_job() as a real
error.
