Paolo Bonzini d1d1b206b0 coroutine-ucontext: use __thread ...

ELF thread local storage is about 10% faster on tests/test-coroutine's
perf/cost test.  The timing on my machine is 190ns per iteration with
pthread TLS, 170 with ELF TLS.

Based on a patch by Kevin Wolf and Peter Lieven, but redone to follow
the model of coroutine-win32.c (including the important "noinline"
attribute!).

Platforms without thread-local storage (OpenBSD probably?) will need
a new-enough GCC for this to compile, in order to use the same emutls
support that Windows already relies on.
