pthread_kill prototype

[Robert Collins]

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-03/msg01276.html

pthread_kill is current defined in pthread.h as int
pthread_kill(pthread_t *, int sig);

it is also defined in sys/signal.h as
int pthread_kill(pthread_t, int sig);

the definition in sys/signal.h is the posixly correct one.
