normal 708bfd2115 thread_pthread: remove timer-thread by restructuring GVL
To reduce resource use and reduce CI failure; remove
timer-thread.  Single-threaded Ruby processes (including forked
children) will never see extra thread overhead.  This prevents
glibc and jemalloc from going into multi-threaded mode and
initializing locks or causing fragmentation via arena explosion.

The GVL is implements its own wait-queue as a ccan/list to
permit controlling wakeup order.  Timeslice under contention is
handled by a designated timer thread (similar to choosing a
"patrol_thread" for current deadlock checking).

There is only one self-pipe, now, as wakeups for timeslice are
done independently using condition variables.  This reduces FD
pressure slightly.

Signal handling is handled directly by a Ruby Thread (instead
of timer-thread) by exposing signal self-pipe to callers of
rb_thread_fd_select, native_sleep, rb_wait_for_single_fd, etc...
Acquiring, using, and releasing the self-pipe is exposed via 4
new internal functions:

1) rb_sigwait_fd_get - exclusively acquire timer_thread_pipe.normal[0]

2) rb_sigwait_fd_sleep - sleep and wait for signal (and no other FDs)

3) rb_sigwait_fd_put - release acquired result from rb_sigwait_fd_get

4) rb_sigwait_fd_migrate - migrate signal handling to another thread
                           after calling rb_sigwait_fd_put.

rb_sigwait_fd_migrate is necessary for waitpid callers because
only one thread can wait on self-pipe at a time, otherwise a
deadlock will occur if threads fight over the self-pipe.

TRAP_INTERRUPT_MASK is now set for the main thread directly in
signal handler via rb_thread_wakeup_timer_thread.

Originally, I wanted to use POSIX timers
(timer_create/timer_settime) for this.  Unfortunately, this
proved unfeasible as Mutex#sleep resumes on spurious wakeups and
test/thread/test_cv.rb::test_condvar_timed_wait failed.  Using
pthread_sigmask to mask out SIGVTALRM fixed that test,  but
test/fiddle/test_function.rb::test_nogvl_poll proved there'd be
some unavoidable (and frequent) incompatibilities from that
approach.

Finally, this allows us to drop thread_destruct_lock and
interrupt current ec directly.

We don't need to rely on vm->thread_destruct_lock or a coherent
vm->running_thread on any platform.  Separate timer-thread for
time slice and signal handling is relegated to thread_win32.c,
now.
