This is an attempt to enable checking (via REST API) if app (started via REST API) is still running.
In https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv/issues/845 I suggested to use thread ID running app's main() to detect when is the application terminated. Termination of main() thread is usually same as termination of app. One exception - if there are extra threads created, and main() doesnt try to join() them, then app might be still doing usefull work. That might need to be implemented/fixed later. I "made up" an extra, nonportable pthread function - pthread_gettid_np. I wanted to use thread ID as app identifier, and didn't found any nicer way to convert pthread_t to ID.
