`uv_thread_setname()` sets the name of the current thread. Different
platforms define different limits on the max number of characters
a thread name can be: Linux, IBMi (16), macOS (64), Windows (32767),
and NetBSD (32), etc. `uv_thread_setname()` will truncate it in case
`name` is larger than the limit of the platform.
`uv_thread_getname()` gets the name of the thread specified by `tid`.
The thread name is copied into the buffer pointed to by `name`. The
`size` parameter specifies the size of the buffer pointed to by `name`.
The buffer should be large enough to hold the name of the thread plus
the trailing NUL, or it will be truncated to fit.
This commit introduces the `uv_thread_detach` for thread detaching,
allowing threads to be detached state on both UNIX and Windows platforms.

Add uv_thread_setpriority for setting priority for threads created by
uv_thread_create. Add uv_thread_getpriority for getting thread priority.
For Linux by default, if the scheduling policy is SCHED_OTHER and the
priority is 0, we need to set the nice value.
Fixes: https://github.com/libuv/libuv/issues/4051
Backported thread affinity feature and related dependency commits
from master. It will add support for those APIs: uv_cpumask_size,
uv_thread_setaffinity, uv_thread_getaffinity.
The supported platforms are Linux, Freebsd, and Windows.
Empty implementations (returning UV_ENOTSUP) on non-supported platforms
(such as OS X and AIX).
The pthread_cond_timedwait requires a timeout relative to the Epoch.
So don't use uv__hrtime to set the timeout because it is relative to an
arbitrary time in the past. Use gettimeofday instead.

Before this commit, UNIX returned -1 on failure. Windows sometimes
returned a UV_E* error code and sometimes a bogus status code, courtesy
of errno values not mapping to UV_E* error codes on that platform.

59658a8de7 changed uv_thread_self()
to return uv_thread_t, but uv_thread_t is a thread's HANDLE while
uv_thread_self() returns the current thread's id.
This means that uv_thread_equal() is also broken, as we are
potentially comparing HANDLES to ids.
Changed uv_thread_self() to return the current thread's creation handle.
Fixed small doc issue.
