Increase thread stack for OS X (#2035)

On OS X threads other than the main thread are created with a reduced stack
size of 512KB by default, this is dangerously low for deep searches, so
adjust it to TH_STACK_SIZE. The implementation calls pthread_create() with
proper stack size parameter.

Verified for no regression at STC enabling the patch on all platforms where
pthread is supported.

LLR: 2.95 (-2.94,2.94) [-3.00,1.00]
Total: 50873 W: 9768 L: 9700 D: 31405

No functional change.
