Breakpad Linux client: Simplify VerifyStackReadWithMultipleThreads unit test.

As written, the VerifyStackReadWithMultipleThreads unit test makes
assumptions about the layout of thread_function's stack frame. As a result,
the test will fail when compiled with some compilers, or built with certain
optimization levels.

As an extension to C++, the GNU compilers allow you to request that a
variable be placed in a specific register. Using this, we can have
thread_function put the thread id in place where the test can find it
reliably.
