This patch adds a pico_tls module, which adds support for GCC's __thread, C11's _Thread_local, and C++'s thread_local storage class specifiers. For example:
Different implementations of pico_tls may be selected by means of the pico_set_tls_implementation cmake macro, similar to some other SDK modules. For example, a different implementation could be selected if using an RTOS.
In this implementation, a thread corresponds to a core. No TLS storage is allocated for exceptions handlers. So there are two threads total.
Issue #291 has two parts: making C++ thread_local work and making C++ exceptions work. This patch adds support for thread_local but not C++ exceptions.
Tested by building SDK and running modified kitchen_sink in debug and release, stepping through tls_init and __wrap___emutls_get_address in GDB.
