Dan Berrange reported compilation failure of libvirt on Fedora 20
when cross-compiling to mingw; the problem was traced to bogus
macros in the winpthreads <pthread.h> header shipped as part of
mingw-headers 3.0.

Gnulib's time.h was already working around the pthread.h pollution,
but now that newer mingw has started providing struct timespec,
the workaround was no longer being hit. Moving the pollution
workaround to the wrapper around the broken header solves the problem.
* lib/time.in.h: Move pthread workarounds...
* lib/pthread.in.h: ...here.
* m4/pthread.m4 (gl_PTHREAD_CHECK): Also build pthread.h when we
detect macro pollution on mingw.
* doc/posix-headers/pthread.texi (pthread.h): Document the problems.
