Zachary Turner 50d14e63e0 [Support] Provide access to current thread name/thread id.
Applications often need the current thread id when making
system calls, and some operating systems provide the notion
of a thread name, which can be useful in enabling better
diagnostics when debugging or logging.

This patch adds an accessor for the thread id, and "best effort"
getters and setters for the thread name.  Since this is
non critical functionality, no error is returned to indicate
that a platform doesn't support thread names.

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
===========================

This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
structure underneath this directory could look like this:

Unix           - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
  Posix        - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
  SUS          - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
  SysV         - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX

As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
