This patch adds the thrd_* definitions from C11 threads (ISO/IEC 9899:2011),
more specifically thrd_create, thrd_curent, rhd_detach, thrd_equal,
thrd_exit, thrd_join, thrd_sleep, thrd_yield, and required types.

Mostly of the definitions are composed based on POSIX conterparts, such as
thrd_t (using pthread_t).

I have skimmed the C11 discussion of these types, and C11 says thatmtx_t et al. are “identifiers”. To me, this suggests they are handles,just like pthread_t in the POSIX threads implementation.

I'm sorry, but this would make the current implementation based onpthread types (without indirection) invalid. 8-(
