[m-rev.] diff: thread resource leaks

[Peter Wang]

Branches: main, 11.07

library/thread.m:
	Really create threads in the detached state so that resources will be
	automatically freed when threads terminate.  I had attempted this
	previously but forgot to update a single line so that the change had no
	effect.
