(L) Prelim RFR: 8132510: Replace ThreadLocalStorage with compiler/language-based thread-local variables

[Thomas Stüfe]

Hi David,

I get build errors on all my platforms.

I think the change misses #include "runtime/threadLocalStorage.hpp" in a
couple of places, at least thread.cpp and possible also the os_xx_yy.cpp
files.

Will take another look tomorrow.

Thanks, Thomas
