... so that each cloned process at the kernel level can be named
independently. Tools like 'top' can display the CPU/memory statistics
for each process's thread if "Show Threads" mode is on.
With this function in place, we can convert dalvik/Thread.c setThreadName()
function over this function. This feature ought to be provided by the
underlying C library and not coded directly in Dalvik.

Note that this does not change the implementation of conditional variables
which still use shared futexes, independent on the flags being selected.
This will be fixed in a later patch, once our system is modified to use
pthread_condattr_setpshared(attr, PTHREAD_PROCESS_SHARED) properly.

Private futexes are a recent kernel addition: faster futexes that cannot be
shared between processes. This patch uses them by default, unless the PROCESS_SHARED
attribute flag is used when creating a mutex and/or conditional variable.
Also introduces pthread_condattr_init/destroy/setpshared/getpshared.

This is used to perform a mutex lock for a given amount of
milliseconds before giving up. Using the _np prefix since this
is absolutely not portable.
Also remove a compiler warning in pthread_attr_getstackaddr
