rt-tests: mention that NPTL thread implementation is needed

This patch superseds http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/150161/, but
does it in a different way. Since we don't have a way of selecting the
thread implementation for external toolchains, and it sounds a bit too
heavy to add new config options just for the sake of rt-tests, we
instead simply add some help text to the rt-tests package explaining
that NPTL thread implementation is needed.

Buildroot configuration.
Note that this package requires a toolchain built with the
NPTL implementation of the pthread API (this is always the
case with glibc/eglibc toolchains, but may not necessarily
be the case with uClibc toolchains, since the thread
implementation is configurable).
