fix: WASI threading regression by disabling pthread usage
PR rust-lang/rust#147572 changed WASI to use the Unix threading implementation, but WASI does not support threading. When the Unix code tries to call pthread_create, it fails with EAGAIN, causing libraries like rayon to panic when trying to initialize their global thread pool.
The old wasip1/wasip2 implementations:
- wasip1: Threading conditionally available with atomics (experimental)
- wasip2: Threading unconditionally unsupported
This fix restores that behavior by disabling pthread-based threading for all WASI targets:
1. Guard the pthread-based Thread implementation with #[cfg(not(target_os = "wasi"))]
2. Provide an unsupported stub (Thread(!)) for WASI
3. Return Err(io::Error::UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM) when Thread::new is called
Fixes the regression where rayon-based code (e.g., lopdf in PDF handling) panicked on WASI after nightly-2025-12-10.
Before fix:
pthread_create returns EAGAIN (error code 6)
ThreadPoolBuildError { kind: IOError(Os { code: 6,
kind: WouldBlock, message: "Resource temporarily unavailable" }) }
After fix:
Thread::new returns Err(io::Error::UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM)
Libraries can gracefully handle the lack of threading support
