A rare clean backport for 8u!

Though the original patch is over seven years old, I think we are seeing this failure more due to [JDK-8073464](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8073464) in 8u362. It added a call to `set_native_thread_name` into the initialisation of named threads, which increases the likelihood of that function being called on Windows without a debugger attached. The comment above the suggested change actually mentions needing a debugger attached, but nothing in the code prior to this patch actually requires it!

You can safely ignore the CAcert failures. I've seen them on other PRs and they are something we need to dig into and fix.
