8342482: Use the same native thread initialization procedure on all platforms

[dholmes-ora]

This fixes an issue reported in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8340401 caused by a difference in the thread initialization protocol for new Java threads, by using the same Monitor-based "handshake" protocol on all platforms. This allows all the related code, including the _threadStart_lock to be put into the shared OSThreadBase class.

For AIX and Windows this means threads are no longer started in a suspended state.
