[PATCH] emacs-25 dynamic modules support not compiling on FreeBSD 10.x

[Ashish SHUKLA]

Hi,

Due to C11 threads.h check in configure, we get HAVE_THREADS_H defined in
config.h, which results in thrd_current getting invoked in `module_init' as
shown below:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
1123 void
1124 module_init (void)
1125 {
1126   /* It is not guaranteed that dynamic initializers run in the main thread,
1127      therefore detect the main thread here.  */
1128 #ifdef HAVE_THREADS_H
1129   main_thread = thrd_current ();
1130 #elif defined HAVE_PTHREAD
1131   main_thread = pthread_self ();
1132 #elif defined WINDOWSNT
1133   /* The 'main' function already recorded the main thread's thread ID,
1134      so we need just to use it . */
1135   main_thread = dwMainThreadId;
1136 #endif
1137 }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

thrd_current(3)[1] on FreeBSD 10.x requires -lstdthreads to be included in
libraries, or you'll get linker error about missing `thrd_current'.

Attached diff (w.r.t. 0ad27a5a) fixes this on FreeBSD 10.x, but needs to be
rewritten to be portable.
