Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.

This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
This feature is specifically for the C++ compiler to offload calling
thread_local object destructors on thread program exit, to glibc.
This is to overcome the possible complication of destructors of
thread_local objects getting called after the DSO in which they're
defined is unloaded by the dynamic linker. The DSO is marked as
'unloadable' if it has a constructed thread_local object and marked as
'unloadable' again when all the constructed thread_local objects
defined in it are destroyed.
We can discover our x,y coordinate in the core mesh with an
mfspr instruction, multiply y by the core mesh width, and have
the core number without needing to ask the kernel.
