configure.ac: Enhance compiler checks for pthreads

There apparently exist some compiler ports (e.g Haiku's GCC) that do not
support the ubiquitous '-pthread' compiler option. Add a check for this
and only use the option if supported.

Also tweak the check for the pthread library to check for the
pthread_create() function. Even though libusb does not use this function,
it seems to be sufficiently distinct such that the standard C library
would not provide this directly if the pthread implementation resided in
a separate library. Also explicitly check whether no additional library
linkage is required.

Build Status Build Status Coverity Scan Build Status

libusb is a library for USB device access from Linux, macOS, Windows, OpenBSD/NetBSD, Haiku and Solaris userspace. It is written in C (Haiku backend in C++) and licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or, at your option, any later version (see COPYING).

libusb is abstracted internally in such a way that it can hopefully be ported to other operating systems. Please see the PORTING file for more information.
