[boehm-gc] Use thr_stksegment to determine Solaris stack base

Since Solaris 11.1/x86, a few 32-bit boehm-gc testcases started to FAIL:

FAIL: boehm-gc.c/gctest.c -O2 execution test
FAIL: boehm-gc.c/leak_test.c -O2 execution test
FAIL: boehm-gc.c/thread_leak_test.c -O2 execution test
FAIL: boehm-gc.lib/staticrootstest.c -O2 execution test

They all SEGV on the first call to GC_mark_from.  This turns out to be a
side effect of the virtual memory system rewrite (VM 2.0) in that
Solaris version: one of the very few user-visible changes in that
release was that the 32-bit x86 stack base changed, unfortunately
without updating the USRSTACK definition in <sys/vmparam.h>.

Unlike the boehm-gc 6.6-based version in the gcc tree, the failure
doesn't happen with gc 7.2c.  It turns out that this is case since that
version uses the thr_stksegment(3C) function instead of the macro.  This
function exists since at least Solaris 2.5.1 and has the additional
advantage of also working with ASLR also introduced with VM2, where a
fixed stack base is wrong.

This patch fixes the failures by backporting the use of thr_stksegment
from gc 7.2c.

Bootstrapped without regressions on i386-pc-solaris2.{9,10,11} and
sparc-sun-solaris2.{9,10,11}, fixes the i386-pc-solaris2.11 failures.

Ok for mainline?
