566adc2510 std: Swap arguments in Thread.spawn
Beside the new order being consistent with the ThreadPool API and making
more sense, this shuffling allows to write the context argument type in
terms of the startFn arguments, reducing the use of anytype (eg. less
explicit casts when using comptime_int parameters, yay).

Sorry for the breakage.

Closes #8082

a9667b5a85 organize std lib concurrency primitives and add RwLock
* move concurrency primitives that always operate on kernel threads to
   the std.Thread namespace
 * remove std.SpinLock. Nobody should use this in a non-freestanding
   environment; the other primitives are always preferable. In
   freestanding, it will be necessary to put custom spin logic in there,
   so there are no use cases for a std lib version.
 * move some std lib files to the top level fields convention
 * add std.Thread.spinLoopHint
 * add std.Thread.Condition
 * add std.Thread.Semaphore
 * new implementation of std.Thread.Mutex for Windows and non-pthreads Linux
 * add std.Thread.RwLock
