added support to set thread names for debugging. this wraps the gnu
extension to set a thread name of up to 15 chars (16 inc nul byte).
eina_thread_name_set() is the new api.
@feature
in the process i found the autofoo wasnt enabling cpu affinity support
at all in reality, so i had to fix that at the same time.
Summary: Support of Spinlocks in Eina (Eina_Spinlock) for OSX, which does not implement them in pthread.

This reverts commit 14c6378fc4.
So either we get to fix T880 or T986. I do think the problem is more tricky than
that, so I am for the moment going to get T880 broken rather than T986 as I think
the later will show up in more case for our user base. Will try to find a proper
solution for everyone before the next release.
As already stated before reliably detecting CC, LIBS and CFLAGS parameters for
use with threads is still a pain in 2014. With this patch I am trying to solve
T880 and use ax_pthread.m4. Note that I do not trust this macro more than the
previous one, so if there is any build issue on any system regarding thread, I
may just rollback to the previous code. Still I hope it is an improvement and
that our build system detect thread more reliably.
Linking to Pthread seems to be highly not portable. Look at lock.m4
macro if you want to understand the hell it is ! By following it
closely we should now have better portability than the 1.7.x release.
And of course than our alpha...
It's not working yet:
* eina_thread.c:152:33: error: 'index' undeclared (first use in this function)
* eina_thread.c:295:4: warning: passing argument 3 of '_eina_thread_win32_create' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
also:
* line 142, is it normal that we call eina_list_append() with tw being NULL ?
* is what I did in the close_thread label correct ?
