RFR: JDK-8152690: main thread does not have native thread name

[Yasumasa Suenaga]

Hi all,

HotSpot for Linux will set thread name via pthread_setname_np(). 
However, main thread does not have it. 

All JavaThread have native name, and main thread is JavaThread. 
For consistency, main thread should have native thread name.

I uploaded a webrev. Could you review it?

I cannot access JPRT.
So I need a sponsor.


Thanks,

Yasumasa
