+ * Terminate a thread and release rights and memory.

+ * Intended to be used by threading libraries to provide a clean way for
+ * threads to terminate themselves. The resources a thread wouldn't be able
+ * to release without this call when terminating itself are its
+ * last reference to its kernel port, its reply port, and its stack.
+ *
+ * This call is semantically equivalent to :
+ * - mach_port_deallocate(task, thread_name);
+ * - if (reply_port != MACH_PORT_NULL)
+ * mach_port_destroy(task, reply_port);
+ * - if ((address != 0) || (size != 0))
+ * vm_deallocate(task, address, size)
+ * - thread_terminate(thread)
+ *
+ * Implemented as a simple routine so a reply port isn't required.
