* Get the operating-system level thread ID for the current thread.

*
* This makes it more suitable for logging or displaying in user interfaces
* than the result of getCurrentThreadID().
*
* There are some potential caveats about this API, however:
*
* - In theory there is no guarantee that application threads map one-to-one to
* kernel threads. An application threading implementation could potentially
* share one OS thread across multiple application threads, and/or it could
* potentially move application threads between different OS threads over
* time. However, in practice all of the platforms we currently support have
* a one-to-one mapping between userspace threads and operating system
* threads.
*
* - This API may also be slightly slower than getCurrentThreadID() on some
* platforms. This API may require a system call, where getCurrentThreadID()
* may only need to read thread-local memory.
*
* On Linux the returned value is a pid_t, and can be used in contexts
* requiring a thread pid_t.
*
* The thread ID may be reused once the thread it corresponds to has been
* joined.
