Thanks.  This is fine for the emacs-27 branch, but it needs some minor
cleanup:

> -static thread_creation_function *thread_start_address;

This line cannot be deleted, as it will cause systhread.c fail to
compile on MS-Windows.

And this comment on thread.h:

  /* Thread's name in the locale encoding.  Actually used only on
     WINDOWSNT.  */
  char *thread_name;

is no longer accurate, so it needs to be updated to reflect the
modified code.
