thread_pool always hangs when used with steady_timer

On Windows, thread_pool always hangs when used as an executor for steady_timer

#include <boost/asio/steady_timer.hpp>
#include <boost/asio/thread_pool.hpp>
int main()
{
    boost::asio::thread_pool tp{1};
    boost::asio::steady_timer t1{tp.get_executor()};
} // hangs in destructor of thread_pool (in shutdown())

Cancelling the timer or setting expire an date seems to have no effect. Looks like the same issue as in chriskohlhoff/asio#431.

This issue was moved by chriskohlhoff from boostorg/asio#324.
