Use _Noreturn (C11; GNU89) properly
A function that returns with no value is a different thing from a function that doesn't return at all. Those are two orthogonal concepts, commonly confused. pthread_create(3) expects a pointer to a start routine that has a very precise prototype: void *(*start_routine)(void *); However, other thread functions, such as kernel ones, expect: void (*start_routine)(void *); Providing a different one is incorrect, and has only been working because the ABIs happen to produce a compatible function. We should use '_Noreturn void', since it's the natural type, and then provide a '_Noreturn void *' wrapper for pthread functions. For consistency, replace most cases of __NORETURN or __attribute__((noreturn)) by _Noreturn. _Noreturn is understood by -std=gnu89, so it should be safe to use everywhere.
