b54962689a posix: Add pthread_cleanup handlers
With `pthread_cleanup_(push|pop)` you can define a function that should
be ran if the thread is exited while it is inside this scope. A thread
can be ended here through an explicit call to `pthread_exit()`, or if
cancellation was requested and a cancellation point was hit.

`pthread_cleanup_*` is mostly only useful together with cancellation
points, and cancellation points are only useful with a cleanup
functionality. Cancellation points are at least partially implemented by
means of `pthread_testcancel()`.

C.f. ["Cancellation Points"][1].
