align x32 pthread type sizes to be common with 32-bit archs
previously, commit e7b9887e8b65253087ab0b209dc8dd85c9f09614 aligned the sizes with the glibc ABI. subsequent discussion during the merge of the aarch64 port reached a conclusion that we should reject larger arch-specific sizes, which have significant cost and no benefit, and stick with the existing common 32-bit sizes for all 32-bit/ILP32 archs and the x86_64 sizes for 64-bit archs. one peculiarity of this change is that x32 pthread_attr_t is now larger in musl than in the glibc x32 ABI, making it unsafe to call pthread_attr_init from x32 code that was compiled against glibc. with all the ABI issues of x32, it's not clear that ABI compatibility will ever work, but if it's needed, pthread_attr_init and related functions could be modified not to write to the last slot of the object. this is not a regression versus previous releases, since on previous releases the x32 pthread type sizes were all severely oversized already (due to incorrectly using the x86_64 LP64 definitions). moreover, x32 is still considered experimental and not ABI-stable.
