The threads test now builds and should work modulo stack alignment in ia2_thread_begin. Running the test hits a fault before it gets to create a thread, but I need to review the test handler header ARM impl before relying on tests' error messages.

As noted in tests/threads: Fix asserted MTE tag values, we'll need call gates before this passes CI.

Making this API arch-independent seems like a more sane approach, but there is
another copy of these functions in ia2_get_pkey.h. I assumed that this was to be
able to call it without changing into the compartment with libia2.a but it seems
like we don't include it anywhere so it may be dead code. I fixed the usage of
this API in the tests in a separate commit but we still need to fix it in
PartitionAlloc and its shim.

ARM is failing because of tls_protected. Given that file-backed mappings don't enforce MTE protections we might not be able to enable the test yet.

TODO: strace tls_protected to check if the issue is actually that it's a file-backed mapping
