coroutine-gthread.o: In function `coroutine_init':
/home/opensource/sources/qemu/qemu-upstream/coroutine-gthread.c:39: undefined reference to `g_thread_init'

The below patch fix the failure.  I also added the patch in the VirtFS
pull request.

    coroutine: add gthread dependency
    
    Commit 1fc7bd4a86a2bfeafcec29445871eb97469a2699 removed the gthread and
    gio dependency since qemu-ga did not require it.  Coroutines require
    gthread, so add it back in.

It appears coroutine-core v7 was merged instead of v8.  The
differences are minor:
 * Bisectability: introduce gthread implementation before ucontext/fibers
 * Depend on gthread, not just glib, for multithreaded programming

Here is the patchwork link to the gthread dependency patch in case a
committer wants to merge it immediately:

I added a version that applies to master in the pull request

Coroutines only need gthreads when both ucontext and win32 versions
are unavailable. This is handled better by my patch:

We would soon need that for VirtFS. So that will be another check of 
if (linux && atttr )

Instead of adding more conditions around glib we should unconditionally
depend on it.  Dependencies always have an associated cost but I intend
to use glib instead of reimplementing platform abstractions and common
data structures.

The cost of maintaining non-emulation/non-virtualization code isn't
worth avoiding the dependency.  In fact I wish glib provided coroutines
so we didn't need to implement them ourselves.

I also thought glib dependency was going to be unconditional, but then
this conditional dependency was introduced. Either make it
unconditional or fix the condition.
