Thread usage statistics enhancements

1. Thread usage stats based on accumulated time dispatched to CPU
Request new stat available, via getthrds64 and getrusage(RUSAGE_THREAD,...) accessors, to reflect the accumulated time the thread is dispatched to CPU. Breakdown by user time and system time is preferred.

Sanity check: Let's say U is the user time-while-dispatched charged to the thread under the new statistic, S is the corresponding system time charged to the thread, and T is a given time interval. If the thread is dispatched continuously to a logical CPU during T, then the ratio (U+S)/T should be (near) 100%.

- Tests of the current ti_ru field in AIX 7.1 TL3 SP3 shows it appears to use a different, incompatible, measure that may be based on core utilization metrics.
- Tests of the current ti_ticks field in AIX 7.1 TL3 SP3 shows it does not report accumulated ticks while dispatched, so not suited to satisfying this request.

2. Per-Thread system call counters
Request new statistic through getthrds64 accessor.
