Subject: [PATCH] linux: Use `pthread_setname_np` instead of `prctl`

This function is available on Linux since glibc 2.12, musl 1.1.16, and
uClibc 1.0.20. The main advantage over `prctl` is that it properly
represents the pointer argument, rather than a multi-purpose `long`,
so we're better representing strict provenance (#95496).
