The thread library (thread.cc) in base-foc shared 95% of the code with
the generic implementation except myself(). Therefore, its
implementation is now separated from the other generic sources into
myself.cc, which allows base-foc to use a foc-specific primitive to
enable our base libraries in L4Linux.

and in the future not needed by base-hw too. Thereby, remove the static
counter variable from the generic code base and add it where appropriated.
