Refactor Thread class to improve readability and portability

- Fix some incompatibilities with obscure platforms (AIX and WinCE)
- Clean up Thread class interface
- Add m_ prefix to private member variables
- Simplify platform-dependent logic, reducing preprocessor
  conditional clauses and improving readibility
- Add Thread class documentation
