std.concurrency: Add join() to prevent thread resource leaks (#10894)

Add a new `join(Tid)` function that allows explicit joining of threads
created by spawn(). This prevents OS resource leaks in long-running
applications that create many short-lived threads.

Without calling join(), thread stacks (~8 MB each on typical systems)
accumulate in virtual memory for the lifetime of the process because:
- Threads created by spawn() are never explicitly joined
- Thread objects remain in the global thread list until process exit
- pthread cannot free thread stacks until pthread_join() is called

The new join() function:
- Blocks until the thread completes
- Releases OS resources (stack, TLS) via pthread_join()
- Throws ThreadError if used on scheduler-created threads
- Throws ThreadError if the thread was already joined

Testing shows:
- Without join: ~8,200 KB virtual memory per thread (stacks leak)
- With join: ~38 KB per thread (stacks properly freed)

+/**
+ * Waits for the thread associated with `tid` to complete.
+ *
+ * This function blocks until the thread represented by `tid` finishes executing
+ * and then releases all OS resources associated with it (thread stack, thread-local
+ * storage, etc.). This is essential for preventing resource leaks in long-running
+ * applications that create many short-lived threads.
+ *
+ * For threads created by $(LREF spawn), this function must be called to properly
+ * free OS resources. Without calling `join`, thread stacks (~8 MB each on typical
+ * systems) will accumulate in virtual memory for the lifetime of the process.
+ *
+ * Params:
+ *  tid = The $(LREF Tid) of the thread to join.
+ *
+ * Throws:
+ *  $(REF ThreadError, core,thread,osthread) if the thread has already been joined
+ *  or if the thread was created by a custom $(LREF Scheduler).
+ *
+ * Example:
+ * ---
+ * auto tid = spawn(&someFunction);
+ * // ... do other work ...
+ * join(tid); // Wait for thread to complete and free resources
+ * ---
+ *
+ * Note:
+ *  It is an error to call `join` on the same `Tid` more than once.
+ *  The function will throw if the thread was created by a $(LREF Scheduler)
+ *  rather than directly as a system thread.
