add gettid function

this is a prerequisite for addition of other interfaces that use kernel tids, including futex and SIGEV_THREAD_ID. there is some ambiguity as to whether the semantic return type should be int or pid_t. either way, futex API imposes a contract that the values fit in int (excluding some upper reserved bits). glibc used pid_t, so in the interest of not having gratuitous mismatch (the underlying types are the same anyway), pid_t is used here as well. while conceptually this is a syscall, the copy stored in the thread structure is always valid in all contexts where it's valid to call libc functions, so it's used to avoid the syscall.
