Instead of using differing integer types use kernel_pid_t for process
identifier. This type is introduced in a new header file to avoid
circular dependencies.
The pthread header files aren't in the doxygen page anymore after #1137,
because I `@file`'d the `.c` files, not the `.h` files.
This change moves doxygen boilerplate.
Closes#1199.
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()`.
