RFR: 8368273: LIBPTHREAD dependency is not needed for some jdk libs

A couple of JDK native libs link to $(LIBPTHREAD) but the dependency is not needed.

libsctp has no `pthread*` calls so most likely we can omit $(LIBPTHREAD).
libawt_xawt only uses `pthread_self()` ; so on Linux it links without adding $(LIBPTHREAD) because it then uses `pthread_self() `from glibc;  however it might still be better to link $(LIBPTHREAD) in this special case.
