I propose we stop doing this, where possible, and instead clearly separate the shared code and the platform specific code in separate classes. This then allows us to use the standard include patterns that we use for most of our code.

Note that some variables that used to be uninitialized are now getting initialized. `_caller_sigmask` is one of the interesting once, because it's sizable array. I still don't think that is problematic because all the other code we run to start threads, but if I get push back on this I'll comment it out.

It is interesting to me that we are using `AllocFailStrategy::RETURN_NULL` when allocating the `OSThread` but then do a `AllocFailStrategy::EXIT_OOM` allocation of a Monitor in the middle of constructing the `OSThread`. 

Even though I am not sure about the usefulness of `AllocFailStrategy::RETURN_NULL`, and whether if it is ever recoverable to fail (smallish) native allocations in Hotspot. Seems like we will crash very soon in any case.
