Set codegen thread names

Set names on threads spawned during codegen. Various debugging and profiling tools can take advantage of this to show a more useful identifier for threads.

For example, gdb will show thread names in `info threads`:

```
(gdb) info threads

and Windows Performance Analyzer will also show this information when profiling:
