[C++0x] n2880 do not detach std::thread by default

n2880 changed the behaviour of std::thread so that it calls
std::terminate() if the thread is joinable when destroyed or assigned
to.

I want to commit this to trunk and 4.4, but what's the best way to
test it? (all current tests pass, because they always explicitly
join() or detach() thread objects.)
