Within each function that launches tasks, we now can easily track which tasks that function launched, so that the sync at the end of the function can just sync on the tasks launched by that function (not all tasks launched by all functions.) Implementing this led to a rework of the task system API that ispc generates code to call; the example task systems in examples/tasksys.cpp have been updated to conform to this API. (The updated API is also documented in the ispc user's guide.) As part of this, "launch[n]" syntax was added to launch a number of tasks in a single launch statement, rather than requiring a loop over 'n' to launch n tasks. This commit thus fixes issue #84 (enhancement to launch multiple tasks from a single launch statement) as well as issue #105 (recursive task launches were broken).
