[M3devel] thread testing program in CM3

[Mika Nystrom]

Hi again,

I added the thread "stress tester" to the CM3 repository in the following
location:

m3-libs/m3core/tests/thread

It no longer takes any command-line arguments, and now it prints friendly
diagnostics.

On FreeBSD4 under PM3, I see the following output:

(82)pluto:~/t/threadtest/src>../FreeBSD4/threadtest

10 seconds is about right for 100 threads and a 0.1-second time 
quantum (if memory serves, that's what PM3 user threads use?)
