Disable SSE in libthr

Clang emits SSE instructions on amd64 in the common path of
pthread_mutex_unlock. If the thread does not otherwise use SSE,
this usage incurs a context-switch of the FPU/SSE state, which
reduces the performance of multiple real-world applications by a
non-trivial amount (3-5% in one application).

Instead of this change, I experimented with eagerly switching the
FPU state at context-switch time. This did not help. Most of the
cost seems to be in the read/write of memory--as kib@ stated--and
not in the #NM handling. I tested on machines with and without
XSAVEOPT.

One counter-argument to this change is that most applications already
use SIMD, and the number of applications and amount of SIMD usage
are only increasing. This is absolutely true. I agree that--in
general and in principle--this change is in the wrong direction.
However, there are applications that do not use enough SSE to offset
the extra context-switch cost. SSE does not provide a clear benefit
in the current libthr code with the current compiler, but it does
provide a clear loss in some cases. Therefore, disabling SSE in
libthr is a non-loss for most, and a gain for some.

I refrained from disabling SSE in libc--as was suggested--because
I can't make the above argument for libc. It provides a wide variety
of code; each case should be analyzed separately.

Merge all the copies of _tcb_ctor and _tcb_dtor.

The amd64, i386, and sparc64 versions were identical, with the one
difference where the former two used inline asm instead of _tcb_get. I
have compared the function before and after replacing the asm with _tcb_get
and found the object files to be identical.

The arm, mips, and powerpc versions were almost identical. The only
difference was the powerpc version used an alignment of 1 where arm and
mips used 16. As this is an increase in alignment is will be safe.

Along with this arm, mips, and powerpc all passed, when initial was true,
the value returned from _tcb_get as the first argument to
_rtld_allocate_tls. This would then return this pointer back to the caller.
We can remove these extra calls by checking if initial is set and setting
the thread control block directly. As this is what the sparc64 code does
we can use it directly.

As after these observations all the architectures can now have identical
code we can merge them into a common file.
