Send thread names to debugger

GDB since commit 24cdb46e [1] can report and use these names.

Add utility function SetThreadName(), which sends a thread name to the
debugger.

Use that:
- to set the default thread name for main thread and newly created pthreads.
- in pthread_setname_np() for user thread names.
- for helper thread names in cygthread::create()
- for helper threads which are created directly with CreateThread.

Note that there can still be anonymous threads, created by system or
injected DLLs.
