thread_pthread.c: remove non-sleepy timer thread implementation

Apparently, the non-sleepy timer thread code bit-rotted and
was been broken for several years and nobody noticed(r63682).
Remove it entirely to simplify maintenance.

Will commit in a few days unless objections are made.

Maybe reject this feature. Keeping non-sleepy timer thread
implementation (I will call it "polling timer thread") since
manually enabling it can find bugs with thread_win32 platform.
