Threads may join the thread termination of another thread using the
pthread_join() or rtems_task_delete() directives. The thread cancel operation
used a special case priority boosting mechanism implemented by
_Thread_Raise_real_priority(). The problem was that this approach
* is not transitive,
* does not account for priority adjustments of the calling task
while waiting for the join,
* does not support clustered scheduling, and
* does not detect deadlocks.
All these problems are fixed by using a priority inheritance thread queue for
the join operation.
