windows: first shot at naming threads with SetThreadDescription(). This is a bleeding edge API, added to Windows 10 Anniversary Edition (build 1607, specifically). https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/mt774976(v=vs.85).aspx Nothing supports this yet, including WinDbg, Visual Studio, minidumps, etc, so we still need to also use the RaiseException hack. But presumably tools will use this API as a more robust and universal way to get thread names sooner or later, so we'll start broadcasting to it now.
