We use sched::thread::attr to pass parameters to sched::thread creation,
i.e., create a thread with non-default stack parameters, pinned to a
particular CPU, or a detached thread.

Previously we had constructors taking many combinations of stack size
(integer), pinned cpu (cpu*) and detached (boolean), and doing "the
right thing". However, this makes the code hard to read (what does
attr(4096) specify?) and the constructors hard to expand with new
parameters.

Replace the attr() constructors with the so-called "named parameter"
idiom: attr now only has a null constructor attr(), and one modifies
it with calls to pin(cpu*), detach(), or stack(size).

For example,
    attr()                                  // default attributes
    attr().pin(sched::cpus[0])              // pin to cpu 0
    attr().stack(4096).pin(sched::cpus[0])  // pin and non-default stack
    and so on.
