Use -pthread flag and simplify pthread build logic

Sometimes -lpthread is not enough. This has caused build failures on
Gentoo Linux in the past.

The logic also seems needlessly complex. We check for HAVE_PTHREAD on
UNIX platforms even though CMake errors out if pthreads are not
found. Similarly, we have a fallback for HAVE_PTHREAD_SIGNAL being
false even though we always set it to true.
