Autoconf has been deprecating configure.in for quite a long time.
Rename all our configure.in and preconfigure.in files to .ac.

This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
For arm this makes no difference--the result is bit-for-bit identical;
for thumb this results in smaller encodings. Perhaps it ought not and
this is in fact an assembler bug, but I also think it's clearer.
Factor out the sequence needed to call kuser_get_tls, as we can't
play subtract into pc games in thumb mode. Prepare for hard-tp,
pulling the save of LR into the macro.
There are several places in which we access negative offsets from
the thread-pointer, but thumb2 only supports positive offsets in
memory references.
Avoid duplicating the rather large macros in which these references
are embedded by abstracting out the operation.
This feature is specifically for the C++ compiler to offload calling
thread_local object destructors on thread program exit, to glibc.
This is to overcome the possible complication of destructors of
thread_local objects getting called after the DSO in which they're
defined is unloaded by the dynamic linker. The DSO is marked as
'unloadable' if it has a constructed thread_local object and marked as
'unloadable' again when all the constructed thread_local objects
defined in it are destroyed.
