[Gtkradiant] Q3Map threading on Linux

[ydnar]

Unforunately, the p in pthreads is POSIX and not Portable.

The implementation differences are minor enough to warrant a little more
work than a few #ifdefs here and there. For example, removal of the
stacksize attribute (unecessary on Linux because threads are just cloned
processes sharing heap space).
