[Development] Evolving Qt's multithreading API

[Sze Howe Koh]

I'm not sure what you mean. OpenMP, Pthreads and Boost threads are
independent; there is no backend here.

Anyway, as Thiago mentioned in another post, OpenMP is not supported
on all the compilers that Qt supports, so we can't use it in Qt.
