This patch will fix the pthread key related problems with fork (key value
is restored after fork) and some minor fork related fixes.

Changelog:

	* fork.cc (fork_child): fixup_after_fork call changed.
	(fork_parent): Added call to MTinterface->fixup_before_fork to
	save TLS values.
	(fork): Added critical section, fixup_before_fork will use a
	local key buffer that is not thread safe.
	* init.cc (dll_entry): Run pthread_key destructors on thread
	detach or process detach.
	Changed call to store reents.
	* thread.cc: pthread_key_destructor and
	pthread_key_destructor_list class has been removed.
	(_reent_clib): Modified call to get reent value.
	(_reent_winsup): Ditto.
	(MTinterface::Init): Rewritten.
	(MTinterface::init_pthread): New Method.
	(MTinterface::fixup_before_fork): Ditto.
	(MTinterface::fixup_after_fork): Restore key values.
	Initialize thread instance for main thread.
