clean up and reduce size of internal pthread structure
over time the pthread structure has accumulated a lot of cruft taking up size. this commit removes unused fields and packs booleans and other small data more efficiently. changes which would also require changing code are not included at this time. non-volatile booleans are packed as unsigned char bitfield members. the canceldisable and cancelasync fields need volatile qualification due to how they're accessed from the cancellation signal handler and cancellable syscalls called from signal handlers. since volatile bitfield semantics are not clearly defined, discrete char objects are used instead. the pid field is completely removed; it has been unused since commit 83dc6eb0. the tid field's type is changed to int because its use is as a value in futexes, which are defined as plain int. it has no conceptual relationship to pid_t. also, its position is not ABI. startlock is reduced to a length-1 array. the second element was presumably intended as a waiter count, but it was never used and made no sense, since there is at most one waiter.
