configure: Test linking pthreads before using it

This avoids enabling pthreads if only pthreads-w32 is available.
pthreads-w32 provides pthread.h but has a link library with a
different name (libpthreadGC2.a).

Generally, always using win32 threads when on windows would be
sensible.

However, libstdc++ can be configured to use pthreads (winpthreads), and
in these cases, standard C++ headers can pollute the namespace with
pthreads declarations, which break the win32 threads headers that
declare similar symbols - leading us to prefer pthreads on windows
whenever available (see d167a1ae and bug 1132).
