Implement pthread_atfork()
If threads are being used, then fork() will now acquire and release and
runtime locks so that fork() may be safely used from threads. This also
makes vfork() thread safe, because pthread mutexes will do nothing when
the process is a child of vfork(). More torture tests have been written
to confirm this all works like a charm. Additionally:

- Invent hexpcpy() api
- Rename nsync_malloc_() to kmalloc()
- Complete posix named semaphore implementation
- Make pthread_create() asynchronous signal safe
- Add rm, rmdir, and touch to command interpreter builtins
- Invent sigisprecious() and modify sigset functions to use it
- Add unit tests for posix_spawn() attributes and fix its bugs

One unresolved problem is the reclaiming of *NSYNC waiter memory in the
forked child processes, within apps which have threads waiting on locks

Perform some code maintenance
- Change IDT code so kprintf() isn't mandatory dependency
- Document current intentions around pthread_cancel()
- Make _npassert() an _unassert() in MODE=tiny

Add *NSYNC unit test suite
This change also fixes the clock_nanosleep() api and polyfills futexes
on Windows, Mac, and NetBSD using exponential backoff.

Use *NSYNC for POSIX threads locking APIs
Condition variables, barriers, and r/w locks now work very well.
