Move the storage for the thread queue heads to the threads. Each thread provides a set of thread queue heads allocated from a dedicated memory pool. In case a thread blocks on a queue, then it lends its heads to the queue. In case the thread unblocks, then it takes a free set of threads from the queue. Since a thread can block on at most one queue this works. This mechanism is used in FreeBSD. The motivation for this change is to reduce the memory demands of the synchronization objects. On a 32-bit uni-processor configuration the Thread_queue_Control size is now 8 bytes, compared to 64 bytes in RTEMS 4.10 (other changes reduced the size as well).
