996b88e8f8 optimize: completely overhaul Global (#352)
* optimize: completely overhaul Global

The previous implementation of Global was a minefield for incorrectly implementing global optimization methods. It was very difficult to correctly implement methods (both of the provided methods were incorrect), and the resulting code is very ugly. This commit switches to use channels to communicate, allowing a more clear ordering of concurrent code. This also enables better shutdown of methods.

In addition to the main fix of Global, this refactors the two Global methods to use the updated interface, and makes some small improvements that were previously not possible. In addition, there are some small cleanups of Local to better match between the two calls.

If anyone has been curious about what is meant by 'Don't communicate by sharing memory, share memory by communicating' this is it, and why.
