Kernel: Support thread-local storage
This patch adds support for TLS according to the x86 System V ABI.
Each thread gets a thread-specific memory region, and the GS segment
register always points _to a pointer_ to the thread-specific memory.
In other words, to access thread-local variables, userspace programs
start by dereferencing the pointer at [gs:0].
The Process keeps a master copy of the TLS segment that new threads
should use, and when a new thread is created, they get a copy of it.
It's basically whatever the PT_TLS program header in the ELF says.
