      Bug #57338: Extreneous server variable thread_pool_size
      
      The server contained code for the server variable and
      option thread_pool_size, but this server variable where
      not used anywhere.
      
      The variable is probably remains from backporting too
      much from 6.0 (specifically, the thread pool
      implementation was not backported from 6.0, which this
      variable is associated with).
      
      This patch eliminates the variable from the server.
