When calling pthread_attr_setdetachstate, we were using 1 as the
argument. But the pthreads documentation says that you have to say
PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACH, which on Solaris is apparently 0x40. Calling
pthread_attr_setdetachstate with 1 crashes on Solaris with FLTBOUNDS.
(Because we're so late in the release cycle, I made the code define
PTHREAD_CREATE_DETACHED if it doesn't exist, so we aren't likely to
break any other platforms.)
This bug was introduced when we made threading mandatory in
0.2.6.1-alpha; previously, we had force-disabled threading on
Solaris. See #9495 discussion.
This is to avoid that the pthread_cond_timedwait() is not affected by time
adjustment which could make the waiting period very long or very short which
is not what we want in any cases.

Previously I used one queue per worker; now I use one queue for
everyone. The "broadcast" code is gone, replaced with an idempotent
'update' operation.
Also, re-enable the #if'd out condition-variable code.
Work queues are going to make us hack on all of this stuff a bit more
closely, so it might not be a terrible idea to make it easier to hack.
