core: thread: add a "timeouts" pointer to the thread structure

2009-09-10T05:24:55+00:00

Add a "timeouts" pointer to the thread structure; this is a private
per-thread pointer for the benefit of lwIP.  This is ad hoc, but a lot
easier than implementing TLS.

2009-09-09T16:07:58+00:00

Have start_thread() allocate memory dynamically, using malloc().
