[m-rev.] [PATCH 1/4] Fix detection of pthreads-win32.

[Peter Wang]

The check for the pthreads-win32 implementation did not work because it
compiled a test program that was designed to be run, but did not run it.
Running a test program is undesirable for cross-compilation anyway.

m4/mercury.m4:
	Replace MERCURY_HAVE_PTHREADS_WIN32 test with one based only on
	successful compilation.
