yieldCapability() was not prepared to be called by a Task that is not
either a worker or a bound Task.  This could happen if we ended up in
yieldCapability via this call stack:

performGC()
scheduleDoGC()
requestSync()
yieldCapability()

and there were a few other ways this could happen via requestSync.
The fix is to handle this case in yieldCapability(): when the Task is
not a worker or a bound Task, we put it on the returning_workers
queue, where it will be woken up again.

Summary of changes:

* `yieldCapability`: factored out subroutine waitForWorkerCapability`
* `waitForReturnCapability` renamed to `waitForCapability`, and
  factored out subroutine `waitForReturnCapability`
* `releaseCapabilityAndQueue` worker renamed to `enqueueWorker`, does
  not take a lock and no longer tests if `!isBoundTask()`
* `yieldCapability` adjusted for refactorings, only change in behavior
  is when it is not a worker or bound task.

Test Plan:
* new test concurrent/should_run/performGC
* validate
