Support the clone system call.

This implements two new LKL hooks. The first one to create an lthread
with a specific initial register state (to capture the returns-twice
behaviour of clone, along with the caller's ability to define the stack
and TLS addresses).  The new thread is immediately associated with the
Linux task structure (normally, lthreads are associated with Linux tasks
lazily when they perform a system call).

The second hook destroys a thread.  This is done in response to an exit
system call.  This is somewhat complicated, because LKL never returns to
this thread and the thread's stack may be deallocated by the time we
exit it.

The lthread scheduler does not have an easy way of adding a mechanism to
kill a thread without that thread running.  We can add one eventually,
but for now create a temporary stack that lthreads can use during
teardown and make them run the teardown from there.

Disable access02 test.  It is spuriously passing and this makes it fail.
See #277 for more information.

Fixes #155
