Path to add new --enable-pthread-naming configure option

pthread_setname_np was added in glibc 2.12, however for better portability of games I prefer to require no newer than glibc 2.11 in my build system (CentOS/EPEL 6). However since that system uses 2.12 this one symbol messes with my glibc compatibility.

Currently I simply edit SDL_config.h post configure and build. So I propose this patch to simplify that process.

On Mac OS X we dynamically look up the symbol for that exact reason. Maybe we can do the same for other platforms?

Hmm. that makes sense.. Now why wasn't that code shared then?? I'll see about converting the linux code to do the same and see if it flies.

(whoops, I replied on the mailing list, didn't realize we were discussing this here already.)

I just pushed a change to make the Linux and Mac OS X code do this. I think we're good here, so I'm closing the bug.

hg changeset 44a2e00e7c66 (and a minor fix in 45187a87d35b).
