Pull request description:

  TLDR: Split pthread flags out of ldflags, and stop using them when building libconsensus.

  Building libconsensus on Linux using Clang currently warns. i.e:
  ```bash
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure --disable-tests --disable-bench --with-utils=no --with-daemon=no --with-gui=no --disable-wallet --with-libs=yes CC=clang CXX=clang++
  make V=1 -j6
  ... -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,-z -Wl,now   -pthread -Wl,-soname -Wl,libbitcoinconsensus.so.0 -o .libs/libbitcoinconsensus.so.0.0.0
  clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pthread' [-Wunused-command-line-argument]
  ```

  Besides wanting to quiet the warnings, after digging into this it seemed we could clean up how we are passing around the pthread flags. I also learnt a bit more about how libtools builds shared libraries, and that passing `-pthread` on the link line wouldn't be enough to link against pthreads anyways, due to libtools usage of -nostdlib (see [related discussion where we build DLLs](476436b2de/configure.ac (L603))).

  This can be demonstrated with a patch to libconsensus:
  ```patch
  diff --git a/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.cpp b/src/script/bitcoinconsensus.cpp

  +	pthread_t t;

  ```

  After building,  you'll find you have a `libbitcoinconsensus.so` using pthread symbols, but which isn't linked against libpthread:
  ```bash
  ldd -r src/.libs/libbitcoinconsensus.so
  	linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe49378000)
  	libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f553cee7000)

  	libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f553cbc5000)

  undefined symbol: pthread_create	(src/.libs/libbitcoinconsensus.so)
  ```

  This libtool behaviour has been known about for some time, i.e this [thread from 2005](https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25460),  describes the same issue. The suggestion from libtool maintainers at the time is to add `-lpthread` to LDFLAGS.

  Also worth noting is that some of the users in those threads were also using the `AX_PTHREADS` macro, same as us, to determine how to compile with/link against pthreads. This macro has [recently been updated](https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=autoconf-archive.git;a=commitdiff;h=2fb904589643eb6ca6122f834891b58d1d51b347), with reference to this issue. You can compare the output from the version we currently use, to the new version:
  ```bash
  # our ax_pthread macro:
    PTHREAD_CFLAGS = -pthread
    PTHREAD_LIBS  =
    PTHREAD_CC    = gcc / clang

  # the new ax_pthread macro
    PTHREAD_CFLAGS = -pthread
    PTHREAD_LIBS  = -lpthread
    PTHREAD_CC    = gcc / clang
  ```

  Note that as part of this PR I've also added `PTHREAD_LIBS` to the split out flags. Although we weren't using it anywhere previously (and wouldn't have seemed to matter for the most part, given it was likely empty for most builders), the macro assumes it's use. i.e:
  > NOTE: You are assumed to not only compile your program with these flags,
  > but also to link with them as well. For example, you might link with
  > $PTHREAD_CC $CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS $LDFLAGS ... $PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python, that are run automatically on the build server. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.

Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
