As discussed in D107121, task wait doesn't work when a regular task T depends on
a detached task or a hidden helper task T' in a serialized team. The root cause is,
since the team is serialized, the last task will not be tracked by
`td_incomplete_child_tasks`. When T' is finished, it first releases its
dependences, and then decrements its parent counter. So far so good. For the thread
that is running task wait, if at the moment it is still spinning and trying to
execute tasks, it is fine because it can detect the new task and execute it.
However, if it happends to finish the function `flag.execute_tasks(...)`, it will
be broken because `td_incomplete_child_tasks` is 0 now.
In this patch, we update the rule to track children tasks a little bit. If the
task team encounters a proxy task or a hidden helper task, all following tasks
will be tracked.

Refactored code of dependence processing and added new inoutset dependence type.
Compiler can set dependence flag to 0x8 when call __kmpc_omp_task_with_deps.
All dependence flags library gets so far and corresponding dependence types:
1 - IN, 2 - OUT, 3 - INOUT, 4 - MUTEXINOUTSET, 8 - INOUTSET.

The basic design is to create an outer-most parallel team. It is not a regular team because it is only created when the first hidden helper task is encountered, and is only responsible for the execution of hidden helper tasks. We first use `pthread_create` to create a new thread, let's call it the initial and also the main thread of the hidden helper team. This initial thread then initializes a new root, just like what RTL does in initialization. After that, it directly calls `__kmpc_fork_call`. It is like the initial thread encounters a parallel region. The wrapped function for this team is, for main thread, which is the initial thread that we create via `pthread_create` on Linux, waits on a condition variable. The condition variable can only be signaled when RTL is being destroyed. For other work threads, they just do nothing. The reason that main thread needs to wait there is, in current implementation, once the main thread finishes the wrapped function of this team, it starts to free the team which is not what we want.
Two environment variables, `LIBOMP_NUM_HIDDEN_HELPER_THREADS` and `LIBOMP_USE_HIDDEN_HELPER_TASK`, are also set to configure the number of threads and enable/disable this feature. By default, the number of hidden helper threads is 8.
Here are some open issues to be discussed:
1. The main thread goes to sleeping when the initialization is finished. As Andrey mentioned, we might need it to be awaken from time to time to do some stuffs. What kind of update/check should be put here?
