#7669: thread_group::join_all() should catch resource_deadlock_would_occur

     Type:  Bugs                   |      Status:  new     
Milestone:  To Be Determined       |   Component:  thread  
  Version:  Boost 1.52.0           |    Severity:  Problem 
 Keywords:  thread;thread_group    |  
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 If a thread in thread_group is this_thread, join_all() throws
 resource_deadlock_would_occur. This violates the function post-condition:
 "Every thread in the group has terminated."
 Because of the above, and because it's impossible to enumerate the threads
 is a thread_group, it should catch resource_deadlock_would_occur and
 proceed with the joining loop. (The exception can be re-thrown when the
 loop ends.)
