Arjun Shankar bd0e88f05c support: Add support for running tests in a multi-threaded environment
It can be useful to be able to write a single-threaded test but run it
as part of a multi-threaded program simply to exercise glibc
synchronization code paths, e.g. the malloc implementation.

This commit adds support to enable this kind of testing.  Tests that
define TEST_IN_THREAD, either as TEST_THREAD_MAIN or TEST_THREAD_WORKER,
and then use support infrastructure (by including test-driver.c) will be
accordingly run in either the main thread, or in a second "worker"
thread while the other thread waits.

This can be used in new tests, or to easily make and run copies of
existing tests without modifying the tests themselves.

The support_test_in_thread_wrapper function defined here gets called from
within support_test_main, but needs to be compiled separately. This is
done in order to avoid linking every test (irrespective of necessity)
against pthread_create etc., which has implications for Hurd and
statically linked tests. */
