Avoid memory leaks

This commit replaces the `threadpool` crate with a handcrafted
solution based on scoped threads. This leaves `valgrind` much
happier than before. We also lose some dependency baggage.

 ## [Unreleased]
+- Replace dependency on threadpool crate with a custom solution built on the
+  standard library only, and only using scoped threads
+  -> fixes memory leaks observed when running under valgrind
+- up MSRV to 1.63 for scoped threads
