This adds a mode for running the RTS without threads. It can be useful on platforms that do not have POSIX thread available, such as WASM (although we are far from being able to run on WASM for other reasons). Since one of the goals is to remove the needs for pthreads, this must be chosen at compile time rather than run time. Use the --no-threads flag: actonc --no-threads foo.act The DB support currently requires threads. To get past compilation, pthread is made optional and instead results in an error if attempted to be used at run time.
