c11/threads: Don't implement thrd_current on Windows.
GetCurrentThread() returns a pseudo-handle (a constant which only makes sense when used within the calling thread) and not a real handle. DuplicateHandle() will return a real handle, but it will create a new handle every time we call. Calling DuplicateHandle() here means we will leak handles, which can cause serious problems. In short, the Windows implementation of thrd_t needs a thorough make over, and it won't be pretty. It looks like C11 committee over-simplified things: it would be much better to have seperate objects for threads and thread IDs like C++11 does. For now, just comment out the thrd_current() implementation, so we get build errors if anybody tries to use it. Thanks to Brian Paul for spotting and diagnosing this problem.
