p11-kit: Use pthread_atfork() in a safe manner
Instead of trying to perform actions in pthread_atfork() which are not async-signal-safe, just increment a counter so we can later tell if the process has forked. Note this does not make it safe to mix threads and forking without immediately execing. This is a far broader problem that p11-kit, however we now do the right thing when fork+exec is used from a thread. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84567
