Use pthread_setname_np to name threads

osmo-trx can start a considerable amount of threads that can make
debugging it challenging at least. By using phtread_setname_np, the
system sets a meaningful name to the thread which can be seen while
debugging with gdb or by printing /proc/$pid/task/$tid/comm.

Now we also log system TID when setting the name so we can identify
different tasks in /proc even if pthread_setname_np fails.
