unix-jthreads fixed (rather ugly) for HP-UX

Hello!

I have found how to fix "assertion failed" on HP-UX. The problem was that
both "ioctl(fd, FIOSSAIOSTAT, &on)" and "ioctl(fd, FIOSSAIOOWN, &pid)"
return EINVAL in kaffe/kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/jthread.c. If
"ioctl(fd, FIOASYNC, &on)" and "fcntl(fd, F_SETOWN, pid)" are used
everything is more or less Ok. Following diagnostics is printed.
Standard version:
==============
[/home/proski/local/src/kaffe/kaffe/kaffe] ./Kaffe HelloWorldApp.class
FIOSSAIOSTAT: Invalid argument
./systems/unix-jthreads/internal.c:114: failed assertion `mainthread'
==============
Version with "#if defined(FIOASYNC)" before "#elif defined(FIOSSAIOSTAT)":
==============
Error doing FIOSSAIOWN: Invalid argument
Error doing FIOSSAIOWN: Invalid argument
Error doing FIOSSAIOWN: Invalid argument
FIOASYNC: Not a typewriter
FIOASYNC: Not a typewriter
Cannot find essential class 'java/lang/Object' in class library ...
aborting.
==============
It is already much better, but we still have errors.
Now let's place "#if defined(F_SETOWN)" before "#elif
defined(FIOSSAIOOWN)". We have:
==============
FIOASYNC: Not a typewriter
FIOASYNC: Not a typewriter
Cannot find essential class 'java/lang/Object' in class library ...
aborting.
==============
Now we have no serious problems (except missing class library).

I think the best solution would be to write some test for configure. I
would not recomment to apply following patch without futher tests, besause
I can only test it on HP-UX, an I can't even run HelloWorldApp on it.
