add limited pthread_setattr_default_np API to set stack size defaults

based on patch by Timo Teräs:

While generally this is a bad API, it is the only existing API to
affect c++ (std::thread) and c11 (thrd_create) thread stack size.
This patch allows applications only to increate stack and guard
page sizes.
