Just for future search-ability, this PR is a conclusion of the feature seeded in #35646 and implemented in #43919. PR #43919 introduced :dynamic scheduling and triage has already decided that it's a good fit for the default scheduler option of @threads for (#43919 (comment)).

The change in the code is minimal. So, I think it can be merged once CI is sufficiently happy.

Schedule options are:
- `:static` creates one task per thread and divides the iterations equally among
them, assigning each task specifically to each thread.
Specifying `:static` is an error if used from inside another `@threads` loop
or from a thread other than 1.
- `:dynamic` will schedule iterations dynamically to available worker threads,
- `:dynamic` (default) will schedule iterations dynamically to available worker threads,

Perhaps the default should be listed first

The docs on multithreading still warns that the default scheduler for @threads
uses static scheduling. However, since JuliaLang#44136, dynamic scheduling has been the
default. This commit removes the warning.
