Log Message:
Pullup revs 1.12-1.13 (requested by chs in ticket #926)
 In pthread_mutex_lock_slow(), pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock() and sem_wait(),
 call pthread__start() if it hasn't already been called. this avoids
 an internal assertion from the library if these routines are used
 before any threads are created and they need to sleep.
 PR#20256, PR#24241, PR#25722, PR#26096

 Fix the interaction between sigtimedwait() and pthread_kill(),
 both waking up a sleeping thread and avoiding going to sleep if
 a signal is already pending. PR#30348

 In pthread_kill() and pthread_suspend_np(), return without doing anything
 f the target thread is a zombie.
 In all the functions that didn't do so already, verify a pthread_t before
 dereferencing it (under #ifdef ERRORCHECK, since these checks are not
 mandated by the standard).

 Starting the pthread library (ie. calling pthread__start()) before
 any threads are created turned out to be not such a good idea.
 there are stronger requirements on what has to work in a forked child
 while a process is still single-threaded. so take all that stuff
 back out and fix the problems with single-threaded programs that
 are linked with libpthread differently, by checking if the library
 has been started and doing completely different stuff if it hasn't been:
 - for pthread_rwlock_timedrdlock(), just fail with EDEADLK immediately.
 - for sem_wait(), the only thing that can unlock the semaphore is a
 signal handler, so use sigsuspend() to wait for a signal.
 - for pthread_mutex_lock_slow(), just go into an infinite loop
 waiting for signals.

 If mlock() fails in pthread_create(), return EAGAIN instead of
 failing an assertion.
