Remove the concept of thread priorities from empthread.h. Only LWP

supports priorities.  Update synchronization used to rely on them,
which naturally worked only with LWP (#1504036).  With that fixed, no
uses of priorities remained, but a minor bug did: players could starve
out threads with priorities below PP_PLAYER, i.e. delete_lostitems()
and player_kill_idle().  Closes #1458175:
(empth_create): Remove parameter prio.  Callers changed.  Also gets
rid of misleading comments in pthread.c and ntthread.c.
(PP_MAIN, PP_UPDATE, PP_SHUTDOWN, PP_SCHED, PP_TIMESTAMP, PP_PLAYER)
(PP_ACCEPT, PP_KILLIDLE): Remove.
(empth_init, empth_create) [EMPTH_LWP]: Pass priority 1.
