Pthreads conversion GSoC task: Drop cthreads wrapper option
As the native conversion is mostly done, such a wrapper probably wouldn't save any work now.

-One possible option is creating a wrapper that implements the cthreads

This project requires relatively little Hurd-specific knowledge. Experience
with multithreaded programming in general and pthreads in particular is
required, though.
