This has greater portability than directly call pthread_setname_np,
which is only 1 out of 3 possible functions for pthreads that can
set the name.

The new API requires a trampoline function, since it can only set
the name of the current thread.

I'm getting on macOS:

../../audio/jackaudio.c:654:12: error: unused function 
'qjack_thread_creator' [-Werror,-Wunused-function]
   654 | static int qjack_thread_creator(jack_native_thread_t *thread,
       |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No clue why this isn't covered on CI. My local build:

   Audio backends
     CoreAudio support               : YES
     PipeWire support                : NO
     JACK support                    : YES 1.9.22
