[Bug libstdc++/33893] New: [parallel mode] Algorithms rely on omp_set_dynamic(false)

["singler at ira dot uka dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The code in many places assumes that if it uses
num_threads (num_threads), that many threads will be
created.  But that's not guaranteed if omp_set_dynamic (true)
and the library shouldn't tweak that.  num_threads will
be the maximum number of threads that are created, that's
guaranteed, but you should check omp_get_num_threads ()
at runtime to see how many were created and how to divide 
the work.

There is no easy failing test case so far, since the algorithms initialize the
num_thread clause with omp_get_max_threads(), which is already appropriately
reduced by the runtime library in the dynamic setting, so everything works
fine. Nevertheless, this issue should be addressed.
