[PATCH v3 00/14] Reduce #ifdef NO_PTHREADS

From

Changes since v2
- more cleanups in grep.c, read-cache.c and index-pack.c
- the send-pack.c changes are back, but this time I just add
  async_with_fork() to move NO_PTHREADS back in run-command.c

For grep.c and read-cache.c, changes are split in two patches. The first one is a dumb, mechanical conversion from #ifdef to if and is straightforward. The second one makes "no thread" use "one thread" code path and needs more careful review.
