Jade Lovelace 519957bd59 unnamed threads: Obliterate
Ever read gdb output and you just kinda get a headache because you have
to infer what a thread is by reading the stack trace? It's not hard, but
we could also just never have to do that again, which is also not hard.

Sample:

(gdb) info thr
  Id   Target Id                    Frame
* 1    LWP 3719283 "nix-daemon"     0x00007e558587da0f in accept ()
   from target:/nix/store/c10zhkbp6jmyh0xc5kd123ga8yy2p4hk-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6
  2    LWP 3719284 "signal handler" 0x00007e55857b2bea in sigtimedwait ()
   from target:/nix/store/c10zhkbp6jmyh0xc5kd123ga8yy2p4hk-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6

The API design for this is forced by the macOS pthread_setname_np only
being able to change the current thread's name, but if we just conform
everything to that, it works everywhere.
