Add more noreturn attributes



The appended patch silences most of the "function might be possible
candidate for attribute `noreturn'" warnings from GCC.

I've got one question about thread_func in
linuxthreads/sysdeps/pthread/timer_routines.c which has a while (1)
loop.  Can it ever return?  gcc issues the noreturn warning.

Ok to commit?
