JDK-8155232 - Augment Workgang to run task with a given number of threads
Description
WorkGang::_active_workers stores the current number of active workers for a given work gang. This value is repeatedly set from outside.

It seems better to move this member out of the basic WorkGang, as the "optimal" number of threads for a given task highly depends on the task itself. (I.e. maybe into AbstractGangTask)
