Subject: Add macro for detecting thread local storage support.

This adds an AX_TLS macro which attempts to identify if the
underlying compiler/platform supports thread local storage (TLS).
The macro comes from the autoconf macro archive.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_TLS
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Provides a test for the compiler support of thread local storage (TLS)
+#   extensions. Defines TLS if it is found. Currently only knows about GCC
+#   and MSVC. I think SunPro uses the same as GCC, and Borland apparently
+#   supports either.
