[TSan][libdispatch] Add interceptors for dispatch_async_and_wait()

Add interceptors for `dispatch_async_and_wait[_f]()` which was added in
macOS 10.14.  This pair of functions is similar to `dispatch_sync()`,
but does not force a context switch of the queue onto the caller thread
when the queue is active (and hence is more efficient).  For TSan, we
can apply the same semantics as for `dispatch_sync()`.

From the header docs:
> Differences with dispatch_sync()
>
> When the runtime has brought up a thread to invoke the asynchronous
> workitems already submitted to the specified queue, that servicing
> thread will also be used to execute synchronous work submitted to the
> queue with dispatch_async_and_wait().
>
> However, if the runtime has not brought up a thread to service the
> specified queue (because it has no workitems enqueued, or only
> synchronous workitems), then dispatch_async_and_wait() will invoke the
> workitem on the calling thread, similar to the behaviour of functions
> in the dispatch_sync family.

Additional context:
> The guidance is to use `dispatch_async_and_wait()` instead of
> `dispatch_sync()` when it is necessary to mix async and sync calls on
> the same queue. `dispatch_async_and_wait()` does not guarantee
> execution on the caller thread which allows to reduce context switches
> when the target queue is active.
