Making IsMultiThreaded a function is a no-no: it is used in really

Simple solution: the variable continues to exist, under a different
name. The property only implements Delphi compatibility :-)
Possible, but I fear this is also only half of a solution: a property
cannot replace a variable, see var parameter problem or assembler code.
What about the following solution:
* add a variable in the implementation section of system.pp that will be
the real workhorse for "should the RTL be threadsafe" (basically what
IsMultiThread is now)
* when setting that private variable also set the "old" IsMultiThread
variable (but never read it inside the RTL)
* provide a setter function for the private "should the RTL be
threadsafe" variable and document it with a big warning that it is only
for use inside a thread manager.
