Run-time NPTL detection

[Vincent Béron]

This is a first patch to let Wine run on either an NPTL enabled or not
system.

The remaining issues deal with linking ntdll to libpthread, and
autodetection in configure.

It's not production-ready yet, I'm aware that there are a couple rough
edges (ie, nptl_check passing from libwine to ntdll,
wine_pthread_init_(process,thread)_no_nptl, what really happens if run
on a system without NPTL).

It's been tested on RH9 with NPTL.

Comments?

It won't work on non-NPTL I'm afraid, you need the pthread wrappers
right from the start, you can't load them dynamically; this requires
using a different wine binary. I'm working on it, but there are still
a couple of architectural issues to solve first.
