Issue #12392: fix thread initialization on FreeBSD 6
On FreeBSD6, pthread_kill() doesn't work on the main thread before the creation
of the first thread. Create therefore a dummy thread (no-op) a startup to
initialize the pthread library.
Add also a test for this use case, test written by Charles-François Natali.
