pthread: remove use of private Native_config API

Former Native_config::context_area_virtual_base() was used to identify
the main, which is not desired as the Native_config is rather low-level
(almost private to the base libs). The commit uses a library constructor
to retrieve the main-thread Thread_base pointer, which can be used later
to distinguish main and other threads.
