Some small enhancements to thread and workqueue libraries in zebra:

- Allow work queues to specify the yield duration for corresponding background thread
- Support using specified yield duration in thread yielding
- During work queue processing, if using a single list element with a meta-queue
  (like done in Zebra), do not exit after each element is processed, instead
  update the next-node upon a WQ_REQUEUE so that the WQ processing continues
  and is terminated by the yield logic.
- Enhance work queue debug output
