[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] sync job: pull: avoid blocking future during thread pool completion

Chunk insertion during a pull sync job is performed via a thread pool
to increase performance. The caller waits for all threads to be
completed at the end, relying on the respective associated threads to
return from `std::thread::JoinHandle::join`.

Insertion into the chunk store can however take time, especially
for chunks being uploaded to the object store for datastores with
S3 backend.

To avoid blocking the async runtime, spawn a dedicated task to await
the thread pool completion.
