pthread_atfork(3): Block signals during the call to pthread_atfork.

This doesn't affect the calls to the atfork handlers -- it only
protects access to the lists of handlers from interruption by a
signal, in case the signal handler calls fork(2).

Hook up proper fork lock handling for malloc:
- lock all relevant mutexes just before fork
- unlock all mutexes just after fork in the parent
- full reinit non-spinlocks in the child
This is not using the normal pthread_atfork interface to ensure order of
operation, malloc is used as implementation detail too often.

There is still a small race condition inside ld.elf_so as it doesn't use
thread-safe errno internally, but that's a more contained internal
issue.

Fix non _REENTRANT build.

Use C89 definitions.
Remove use of __P

Remove clause 3 and 4 from TNF licenses

Keep one builtin slot so that pthread initialization doesn't need to use
malloc().

fix indentation.

compat core reorg.

Ensure that we don't try to free random memory when another malloc fails,
by initializing newprepare, newparent, and newchild to NULL.
Detected by gcc -Wuninitialized.

minor KNF, making it easier to find where fork() is implemented

Oops, make the atfork queues static so they don't pollute the
namespace.

Implement pthread_atfork() (in libc, because the required threadlib
stub behavior is exactly the same as the usual behavior).
