[libc] Generate a stub for libpthread.a (#200908)

Several build systems / existing scripts assume that pthread functions
are exposed through separate library (`libpthread.so` / `libpthread.a`)
and thus use `-lpthread` flag explicitly. Since llvm-libc puts all the
pthread functions into the regular `libc`, teach the CMake build rules
to produce an empty static archive `libpthread.a` for compatibility
purposes.
