Litecoin: Basic changes for v0.16 release (litecoin-project#482)

* Litecon: Modify thread names

Since this string is displayed externally within lists of processes and should be consistent with branding, and not cause confusion for admins, when running "top", "ps aux", "pgrep" or similar commands.

* Litecoin: Remove invalid doxygen link

* Litecoin: Add additional optional build steps for osx builds

Fixes: litecoin-project#463

* Litecoin: Show scrypt sse2 status in configure and fix scrypt syntax issue
