Improved maximum errno detection. Previously, systems without sys_nerr (or _sys_nerr) were handled with an assumption that errors start at 0 and continuous. This is, however, not something POSIX requires, and not true on some platforms. Notably, on Linux, where sys_nerr is no longer available for newly linked binaries starting with glibc 2.32, there are gaps in error list, which used to stop us from properly detecting maximum errno. Further, on GNU/Hurd errors start at 0x40000001. With this change, maximum errno detection is moved to the runtime code, now able to ignore gaps, and also detects the first error if needed. This fixes observed "Unknown error" messages as seen on Linux with glibc 2.32 and on GNU/Hurd.

/*
 * All modern pthread mutex implementations try to acquire a lock
 * atomically in userland before going to sleep in kernel.  Some
 * spins before the sleeping.
 *
 * In Solaris since version 8 all mutex types spin before sleeping.
 * The default spin count is 1000.  It can be overridden using
 * _THREAD_ADAPTIVE_SPIN=100 environment variable.
 *
 * In MacOSX all mutex types spin to acquire a lock protecting a mutex's
 * internals.  If the mutex is busy, thread calls Mach semaphore_wait().
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL lacks deadlock detection and is the fastest
 * mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name PTHREAD_MUTEX_TIMED_NP
 *             remains from the times when pthread_mutex_timedlock() was
 *             non-standard extension.  Alias name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_FAST_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK is usually as fast as PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL
 * yet has lightweight deadlock detection.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE allows recursive locking.
 *
 *   Linux:    No spinning.  The internal name: PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP.
 *   FreeBSD:  No spinning.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP spins on SMP systems before sleeping.
 *
 *   Linux:    No deadlock detection.  Dynamically changes a spin count
 *             for each mutex from 10 to 100 based on spin count taken
 *             previously.
 *   FreeBSD:  Deadlock detection.  The default spin count is 2000.
 *             It can be overridden using LIBPTHREAD_SPINLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setspinloops_np().  If a lock
 *             is still busy, sched_yield() can be called on both UP and
 *             SMP systems.  The default yield loop count is zero, but
 *             it can be set by LIBPTHREAD_YIELDLOOPS environment
 *             variable or by pthread_mutex_setyieldloops_np().
 *   Solaris:  No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *   MacOSX:   No PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_ELISION_NP is a Linux extension to elide locks using
 * Intel Restricted Transactional Memory.  It is the most suitable for
 * rwlock pattern access because it allows simultaneous reads without lock.
 * Supported since glibc 2.18.
 *
 *
 * PTHREAD_MUTEX_DEFAULT is default mutex type.
 *
 *   Linux:    PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   FreeBSD:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK.
 *   Solaris:  PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
 *   MacOSX:   PTHREAD_MUTEX_NORMAL.
