Move thread bindings to (ice-9 threads)
* libguile/init.c (scm_i_init_guile): Don't call scm_init_thread_procs. * libguile/threads.c (scm_init_ice_9_threads): Rename from scm_init_thread_procs, make static. (scm_init_threads): Register scm_init_thread_procs extension. * libguile/threads.h (scm_init_thread_procs): Remove decl. * module/ice-9/boot-9.scm: Load (ice-9 threads), so that related side effects occur early. * module/ice-9/deprecated.scm (define-deprecated): Fix to allow deprecated bindings to appear in operator position. Export deprecated bindings. (define-deprecated/threads, define-deprecated/threads*): Trampoline thread bindings to (ice-9 threads). * module/ice-9/futures.scm: Use ice-9 threads. * module/ice-9/threads.scm: Load scm_init_ice_9_threads extension. Reorder definitions and imports so that the module circularity with (ice-9 futures) continues to work. * module/language/cps/intmap.scm: * module/language/cps/intset.scm: * module/language/tree-il/primitives.scm: Use (ice-9 threads). * module/language/cps/reify-primitives.scm: Reify current-thread in (ice-9 threads) module. * module/srfi/srfi-18.scm: Use ice-9 threads with a module prefix, and adapt all users. Use proper keywords in module definition form. * test-suite/tests/filesys.test (test-suite): * test-suite/tests/fluids.test (test-suite): * test-suite/tests/srfi-18.test: Use ice-9 threads. * NEWS: Add entry. * doc/ref/api-scheduling.texi (Threads): Update. * doc/ref/posix.texi (Processes): Move current-processor-count and total-processor-count docs to Threads.

+** Threading facilities moved to (ice-9 threads)

+It used to be that call-with-new-thread and other threading primitives
+were available in the default environment. This is no longer the case;
+they have been moved to (ice-9 threads) instead. Existing code will not
+break, however; we used the deprecation facility to signal a warning
+message while also providing these bindings in the root environment for
+the duration of the 2.2 series.
