This replaces the built-in pool with pool-party, which is a lot simpler and has much better diagnostics. We need to hook in a default event listener that at least reports errors.
This also drops support for 2.12 because of annoying issues getting pool-party to compile, but I guess I should look into it a little bit more because it's going to annoy people.
After merging we need to tag an RC to let people test the new pool before a full upgrade, since it's a potentially big problem if it's buggier than the existing pool (I don't think it is but concurrency is hard).
