  Log Message:
  -----------
  Convert myth threads to std::chrono. (2)

This commit focuses on converting MThread, and propagating those
changes throughout the rest of the code without changing too many
other interfaces. There are some temporary conversions to/from
int/std::chrono::millisecond that should be removed with later
commits.
