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.
