thread: add thread.reset-on-fork

Add a new thread.reset-on-fork property for the thread creator. when set
to false, it will clear the default SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag and new RT
threads will be able to fork and inherit the rt policy and priority.

When creating a thread make sure we set SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK when the
thread.reset-on-fork property is not explicitly false;

module-rt needs to preserve the SCHED_RESET_ON_FORK flag when changing
the policy.

Set thread.reset-on-fork=false explicitly for JACK clients to restore
the JACK behaviour where implementations can fork and inherit the RT
policy and priority by default.

Fixes #4966
