Allow specific TLS attributes for GC_thread_key

* doc/README.macros (GC_ATTR_TLS_FAST): Document.
* include/private/thread_local_alloc.h (GC_ATTR_TLS_FAST): New macro
(empty by default).
* include/private/thread_local_alloc.h (GC_thread_key): Use
GC_ATTR_TLS_FAST.
* thread_local_alloc.c (GC_thread_key): Likewise.
