Use pthread_setname_np to set thread name
* configure.ac: Remove check for sys/prctl.h and prctl, check for pthread_setname_np instead. * systhread.c: Remove sys/prctl.h include. (sys_thread_create) [HAVE_PTHREAD_SETNAME_NP]: Use pthread_setname_np to set the name of the newly created thread (Bug#38632). * thread.c (Fmake_thread): Use ENCODE_SYSTEM instead of ENCODE_UTF_8 on the thread name.
