Auto merge of #30856 - mneumann:thread_local_extern, r=alexcrichton

This will correctly add the thread_local attribute to the external static variable ```errno```:

```rust
extern {
     #[thread_local]
     static errno: c_int;
}
```

Before this commit, the thread_local attribute is ignored. Fixes #30795.

Thanks @alexcrichton for pointing out the solution.
