landlock: Multithreading support for landlock_restrict_self()

Introduce the LANDLOCK_RESTRICT_SELF_TSYNC flag.  With this flag, a
given Landlock ruleset is applied to all threads of the calling
process, instead of only the current one.

Without this flag, multithreaded userspace programs currently resort
to using the nptl(7)/libpsx hack for multithreaded policy enforcement,
which is also used by libcap and for setuid(2).  Using this
userspace-based scheme, the threads of a process enforce the same
Landlock policy, but the resulting Landlock domains are still
separate.  The domains being separate causes multiple problems:

* When using Landlock's "scoped" access rights, the domain identity is
  used to determine whether an operation is permitted.  As a result,
  when using LANLDOCK_SCOPE_SIGNAL, signaling between sibling threads
  stops working.  This is a problem for programming languages and
  frameworks which are inherently multithreaded (e.g. Go).

* In audit logging, the domains of separate threads in a process will
  get logged with different domain IDs, even when they are based on
  the same ruleset FD, which might confuse users.
