- Stop calling libthr alternative as it's now the default
threading library.
- Now that libpthread is a symlink, it's no longer possible
to link applications with libpthread and have libmap.conf(5)
select the desired threading library; applications will be
linked to the default threading library, libkse or libthr.
Remove an obsolete paragraph.
- Mention that improvements can be seen compared to libkse.
