Allow a single-threaded program to cancel itself

There is nothing in the POSIX specification to disallow a
single-threaded program from cancelling itself, so we forcibly enable
multiple_threads to allow the next available cancellation point in the
thread to run.

Also added additional tests to cover various cancellation scenarios.
