glib versions prior to 2.31.0 require an explicit g_thread_init() call to enable multi-threading. Failure to initialize threading causes glib to take single-threaded code paths without synchronization. For example, the g_slice allocator will crash due to race conditions. Fix this for all QEMU tool programs (qemu-nbd, qemu-io, qemu-img) by moving the g_thread_init() call from vl.c:main() into a new osdep.c:thread_init() constructor function. thread_init() has __attribute__((constructor)) and is automatically invoked by the runtime during startup. We can now drop the "simple" trace backend's g_thread_init() call since thread_init() already called it. Note that we must keep coroutine-gthread.c's g_thread_init() call which is located in a constructor function. There is no guarantee for constructor function ordering so thread_init() may only be called later.
