Ichthyostega 42eba8425a Library: now able to provide a self-managed thread
After quite some detours, with this take I'm finally able to
provide a stringent design to embody all the variants of thread start
encountered in practice in the Lumiera code base.

Especially the *self-managed* thread is now represented as a special-case
of a lifecycle-hook, and can be embodied into a builder front-end,
able to work with any client-provided thread-wrapper subclass.
