Function silc_thread_create SYNOPSIS
        SilcThread silc_thread_create(SilcThreadStart start_func,
                                      void *context, bool waitable);
DESCRIPTION
        Creates a new thread. The `start_func' with `context' will be
        called if the thread was created. This function returns a pointer
        to the thread or NULL if the thread could not be created.  All
        resources of the returned pointer is freed automatically when the
        thread exits.

        If the `waitable' is set to TRUE then another thread can wait
        this thread's destruction with silc_thread_wait. If it is set to
        FALSE the thread is not waitable.
NOTES
        If the `waitable' is TRUE the thread's resources are not freed
        when it exits until another thread has issued silc_thread_wait.
        If the `waitable' is TRUE then another thread must always issue
        silc_thread_wait to avoid memory leaks.
