note:
- the upper-most 2 bits are to meet the current assumptions in wasi_thread_spawn and wasi-libc.
- another bit is intended for __init_tp: Initialize TID to non-zero value wasi-libc#360 and similar usage.

Could you explain in the document why is that a requirement?

Also, I'm not sure if the proposal should be driven by the current implementation of it in other libraries; I think it should be other way around - unless it really makes sense to keep it like that.

i think it really makes sense to avoid rewriting tid-based locking in musl.

I'm fine with adding something like this to the specification, though I may be tempted to rewrite this a bit to make it a bit more clear. I think those of us doing implementation of wasi-threads should be thinking whether more bits than 3 will need to be reserved.

is there anything blocking this? |

Do apologize, I was on holiday and still catching up on various threads. I'm ok with that change. |
This fixes TID-based locking used within libc. Also, initialize detach_state. cf. WebAssembly/wasi-threads#16
According to the [WASI thread specification](WebAssembly/wasi-threads#16), some thread identifiers are reserved and should not be used. In fact, only IDs between `1` and `0x1FFFFFFF` are valid. The thread ID allocator has been moved to a separate class to avoid polluting the `lib_wasi_threads_wrapper` logic.
