The reasons:
1. Get rid of the stubs/quirks with process dethreading,
process reparent when the process group leader exits and close
to this problems on wait(), waitpid(), etc.
2. Reuse our kernel code instead of writing excessive thread
managment routines in Linuxulator.
Implementation details:
1. The thread is created via kern_thr_new() in the clone() call with
the CLONE_THREAD parameter. Thus, everything else is a process.
2. The test that the process has a threads is done via P_HADTHREADS
bit p_flag of struct proc.
3. Per thread emulator state data structure is now located in the
struct thread and freed in the thread_dtor() hook.
Mandatory holdig of the p_mtx required when referencing emuldata
from the other threads.
4. PID mangling has changed. Now Linux pid is the native tid
and Linux tgid is the native pid, with the exception of the first
thread in the process where tid and pid are one and the same.
Ugliness:
In case when the Linux thread is the initial thread in the thread
group thread id is equal to the process id. Glibc depends on this
magic (assert in pthread_getattr_np.c). So for system calls that
take thread id as a parameter we should use the special method
to reference struct thread.

unsupported futex operation
- for those futex operations which are known to be not supported,
print out which futex operation it is
- shortcut the error return of the unsupported FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME in
some cases:
FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME can be used to tell linux to use
CLOCK_REALTIME instead of CLOCK_MONOTONIC. FUTEX_CLOCK_REALTIME
however must only be set, if either FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET or
FUTEX_WAIT_REQUEUE_PI are set too. If that's not the case
we can die with ENOSYS right at the beginning.

what Linux does. This is because robust futexes are mostly
userspace thing which we cannot alter. Two syscalls maintain
pointer to userspace list and when process exits a routine
walks this list waking up processes sleeping on futexes
from that list.

so the annoying message is not printed.
o Don't warn about FUTEX_FD not being implemented
and return ENOSYS instead of 0 (eg. success).
o Clear FUTEX_PRIVATE_FLAG as we actually implement
only private futexes so there is no reason to
return ENOSYS when app asks for a private futex.
We don't reject shared futexes because they worked
just fine with our implementation so far.

semi-automatic style(9)
The futex stuff already differs a lot (only a small part does not differ)
from NetBSD, so we are already way off and can't apply changes from NetBSD
automatically. As we need to merge everything by hand already, we can even
make the files comply to our world order.
Please don't style(9) the NetBSD code, we want to stay in sync. Not imported
on a vendor branch since we need local changes.
