FindThreads: Replace the pthread symbol checking in libc.

With asan build, we will have the pthread_create() symbol in libc. However,
libasan doesn't have full pthread implementation. We can't assume that we
have the pthread implementation in libc using pthread_create() symbol.
Replace the pthread_create() with pthread_kill() as a quick fix.
