HAVE_IO_PRIORITY was defined for native targets with dircache.
It is already effectively disabled for the most part since dircache no
longer lowers its thread's I/O priority. It existed primarily for the
aforementioned configuration.

Abstracts threading from itself a bit, changes the way its queues are
handled and does type hiding for that as well.
Do alot here due to already required major brain surgery.
Threads may now be on a run queue and a wait queue simultaneously so
that the expired timer only has to wake the thread but not remove it
from the wait queue which simplifies the implicit wake handling.
List formats change for wait queues-- doubly-linked, not circular.
Timeout queue is now singly-linked. The run queue is still circular
as before.
Adds a better thread slot allocator that may keep the slot marked as
used regardless of the thread state. Assists in dumping special tasks
that switch_thread was tasked to perform (blocking tasks).
Deletes alot of code yet surprisingly, gets larger than expected.
Well, I'm not not minding that for the time being-- omlettes and break
a few eggs and all that.

* Seal away private thread and kernel definitions and declarations
into the internal headers in order to better hide internal structure.
* Add a thread-common.c file that keeps shared functions together.
List functions aren't messed with since that's about to be changed to
different ones.
* It is necessary to modify some ARM/PP stuff since GCC was complaining
about constant pool distance and I would rather not force dump it. Just
bl the cache calls in the startup and exit code and let it use veneers
if it must.
* Clean up redundant #includes in relevant areas and reorganize them.
* Expunge useless and dangerous stuff like remove_thread().

thread_queue_wake() doesn't need the 2nd parameter. The original purpose
for it never came to be.
Non priority version mrsw_writer_wakeup_readers was left improperly
finished. Get that back into line.

Any number of readers may be in the critical section at a time and writers
are mutually exclusive to all other threads. They are a better choice when
data is rarely modified but often read and multiple threads can safely
access it for reading.
Priority inheritance is fully implemented along with other changes to the
kernel to fully support it on multiowner objects.
This also cleans up priority code in the kernel and updates some associated
structures in existing objects to the cleaner form.
Currently doesn't add the mrsw_lock.[ch] files since they're not yet
needed by anything but the supporting improvements are still useful.
This includes a typed bitarray API (bitarray.h) which is pretty basic
for now.

errno is supposed to be thread local and we do that here in a rather
makeshift way by implementing a function that returns a pointer to
the __errno variable in the thread block.
If more serious TLS is required, perhaps it would be worthwhile
implementing it using the linker and the "__thread" storage attribute.
That's a bit overkill just for this. I'm also not liking what I saw
the compiler producing.

No code changed, just shuffling stuff around. This should make it easier to
build only select parts kernel and use different implementations.
