 1.7  08-Feb-2017  kamil libpthread_dbg(3) deletion from the base distribution

libpthread_dbg(3) is a remnant library from the M:N thread model
(pre-NetBSD-5.0) API to introspect threads within a process and for use
of debuggers.

Currently in the 1:1 model it's not used in GDB neither in LLDB and it's
not either planned to be used. It's current function to read pthread_t
structures is realizable within a regular debugger capable to
instrospect objects within a tracee (GDB, LLDB...).

Remaining users of this API can still use this library from
pkgsrc/devel/libpthread_dbg.

Add CAVEATS section:
Due to limitations in the current pthread implementation, makecontext(3)
and sigaltstack(2) should not be used in programs which link against
libpthread (whether threads are used or not).

Bump date for man pages.

Add note in libpthread/README so it's not forgotten to update the man
pages when the problem is fixed.
