Create a new macro for checking compiler support for TLS.
Create a new macro that can be shared between projects to check for __thread support by the compiler. This macro might come useful for xine-lib too so I want to keep it separate for easier importing it over. Name the defined macro SUPPORT_TLS___THREAD to follow the same style as the checks from attributes.m4.
