Thread name patch

Add support for naming threads on Linux. setname_np is only available on recent glibc, whereas prctl is there on every libc.

The scavenger thread name is shortened a bit, as the Linux limit is 15 chars.

This patch is too old to apply. Please revise and upload a new patch so it can be considered.

Sorry, I'm not going to bother. The webkit project has made it abundantly clear they do not want outside contributions, not just with this patch (seriously, taking two years to reply!).
