This changes a lot of things all across the EFL. Previously,
methods tagged @const had both their external prototype and
internal impl generated with const on object, while property
getters only had const on the external API. This is now changed
and it all has const everywhere.
Ref T6859.
127 is the "command not found" shell exeit code, 126 is "the command
file is found but is not executable" which i think i'd interpret not
just for execute permissions but that something is preventing it from
executing in general.
both exe and thread objects must (currently) stay around until the
child thread or exe (task) is done. if you don't do this "bad things
can happen". so produce an error to let the programmer know.
so the MAIN loop is actually an efl.app object. which inherits from
efl.loop. the idea is that other loops in threads will not be efl.app
objects. thread on the creator side return an efl.thread object.
inside the thread, like the mainloop, there is now an efl.appthread
object that is for all non-main-loop threads.
every thread (main loop or child) when it spawns a thread is the
parent. there are i/o pipes from parnet to child and back. so parents
are generally expected to, if they want to talk to child thread, so
use the efl.io interfaces on efl.thread, and the main loop's elf.app
class allows you to talk to stdio back to the parent process like the
efl.appthread does the same using the efl.io interfaces to talk to its
parent app or appthread. it's symmetrical
no tests here - sure. i have been holding off on tests until things
settle. that's why i haven't done them yet. those will come back in a
subsequent commit
for really quick examples on using this see:

they are just my test code for this.
Please see this design document:

Some glibc versions declare pipe(2) with a warn unused result attribute,
leading to compile-time warnings when pipe(2)'s return value is not
checked.
If pipe(2) fails, we now print an error and make the calling function
fail.
this is astart of the work for having a common task class/interface
between loops, threads ane exe's so the i/o is all symmetric and works
the same way between all of them as well as similarly for launching
and knowing when the exit etc. etc.
this is not final and not perfect, but it's a start. comments of
course welcome
