worker: make windows workers daemons

The windows workers weren't daemons and were not correctly killed when ctrl-c'd from the terminal. Withi this change when the main thread is killed, all daemons get killed as well.
I also reduced the time we give to workers to cleanup nicely to not have people ctrl-c'ing when they get inpatient.

The output when threads clened up nicely:
  PS C:\<dir>> hg.exe sparse --disable-profile SparseProfiles/<profile>.sparse
  interrupted!
The output when threads don't clenup in 1 sec:
  PS C:\<dir> hg.exe sparse --enable-profile SparseProfiles/<profile>.sparse
  failed to kill worker threads while handling an exception
  interrupted!
  Exception in thread Thread-4 (most likely raised during interpreter shutdown):
  PS C:\<dir>>

Test Plan:
Run hg command on windows (pull/update/sparse). Ctrl-C'd sparse --enable-profile command that was using threads and observed in proces explorer that all threads got killed.
ran tests on CentOS

     The current strategy takes every Nth element from the input. If
     we ever write workers that need to preserve grouping in input
     we should consider allowing callers to specify a partition strategy.
 
     mpm is not a fan of this partitioning strategy when files are involved.
     In his words:
 
         Single-threaded Mercurial makes a point of creating and visiting
         files in a fixed order (alphabetical). When creating files in order,
         a typical filesystem is likely to allocate them on nearby regions on
         disk. Thus, when revisiting in the same order, locality is maximized
         and various forms of OS and disk-level caching and read-ahead get a
         chance to work.
 
         This effect can be quite significant on spinning disks. I discovered it
         circa Mercurial v0.4 when revlogs were named by hashes of filenames.
         Tarring a repo and copying it to another disk effectively randomized
         the revlog ordering on disk by sorting the revlogs by hash and suddenly
         performance of my kernel checkout benchmark dropped by ~10x because the
         "working set" of sectors visited no longer fit in the drive's cache and
         the workload switched from streaming to random I/O.
 
         What we should really be doing is have workers read filenames from a
         ordered queue. This preserves locality and also keeps any worker from
         getting more than one file out of balance.
