Change heartbeat thread controls

When enabling heartbeats, the user must specify:
- heartbeat_s: jl_heartbeat() must be called at least once every heartbeat_s; if it
  isn't, a one-line heartbeat loss report is printed
- show_tasks_after_n: after these many heartbeat_s have passed without jl_heartbeat()
  being called, print task backtraces and stop all reporting
- reset_after_n: after these many heartbeat_s have passed with jl_heartbeat()
  being called, print a heartbeats recovered message and reset reporting
