qemu-thread: implement joinable threads for POSIX
Allow to control if a QEMU thread is created joinable or not. Make it not joinable by default to avoid that we keep the associated resources around when terminating a thread without joining it (what we couldn't do so far for obvious reasons). The audio subsystem will need the join feature when converting it to QEMU threading/locking abstractions, so provide that service.
