cpp runtime: Remove pthread dependency.

ANTLR doesn't use threads, and it used not to depend on pthread library
either.

It changed recently in 2022: antlr#3708
The patch linked against pthread, because the GNU libstdc++ used to
depend on it in their implementation of `std::call_once`.

By the way, the libstdc++ stopped it in 2020:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gcc.git;h=93e79ed391b9c636f087e6eb7e70f14963cd10ad
So this is not more needed.

I would like to stop depending on pthread. I am using ANTLR in C++
WebAssembly for the website:
https://arthursonzogni.com/Diagon/

It doesn't compile with emscripten anymore, because by default pthread
is not enabled. It could be enabled, but it would force me to deploy
cross-origin-isolation:
https://web.dev/cross-origin-isolation-guide/

Solutions:
1. Stop linking against pthread, because the libstdc++ stopped depending
   on it for std::call_once.
2. Implement std::call_once ourself using std::atomic_flag
3. Implement std::call_once ourself using a boolean flag, assuming we
   don't need to support threads.

I chose to do (2) in this patch.
