Since r62466 ("thread_pthread.c: shorten and fix thread cache implementation"),
our thread cache is no longer buggy with programs using fork.
This makes significant improvements in vm_thread_alive_check1
and vm_thread_create_join benchmarks and does not introduce
regressions.

Unlike old thread cache, I've changed the cache to only last 3
seconds since per-thread setup in most programs rarely takes
more than a few milliseconds to re-establish things like network
connections.  This is configurable by changing the THREAD_CACHE_TIME
variable.

I hope this allows users to simplify their code by removing the
need for thread pools in many cases.

This seems pretty trivial and low-risk, will commit in a few days
if no objections.
