threadlib: optimize on Solaris 10 or newer

It was reported in <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32087>
that the PTHREAD_IN_USE_DETECTION_HARD setting that causes
a dummy thread to be created at runtime, just to see whether
multithreading is really enabled, is no longer necessary in Solaris 10.

This is true according to the Solaris doc:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19205-01/819-5264/afanb/index.html
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18752_01/html/816-5137/compile-94611.html

        threadlib: Optimize out runtime test on Solaris >= 10.
        * m4/threadlib.m4 (gl_THREADLIB_BODY): Don't set
        PTHREAD_IN_USE_DETECTION_HARD if configuring on Solaris 10 or newer.
        Reported by Peter Felecan at <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32087>.
