This roughly mimics `std::thread(...).detach()` except it allows to customize the stack size. Required for https://reviews.llvm.org/D50993. I've decided against reusing the existing `llvm_execute_on_thread` because it's not obvious what to do with the ownership of the passed function/arguments: 1. If we pass possibly owning functions data to `llvm_execute_on_thread`, we'll lose the ability to pass small non-owning non-allocating functions for the joining case (as it's used now). Is it important enough? 2. If we use the non-owning interface in the new use case, we'll force clients to transfer ownership to the spawned thread manually, but similar code would still have to exist inside `llvm_execute_on_thread(_async)` anyway (as we can't just pass the same non-owning pointer to pthreads and Windows implementations, and would be forced to wrap it in some structure, and deal with its ownership.

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README =========================== This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory structure underneath this directory could look like this: Unix - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms Posix - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX SUS - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification SysV - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3 subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
