The -pthread option is supported by both clang and gfortran.

The -pthread option seems to be extensively tested for various platforms by clang. We should be able to piggy-back on those tests since we use the relevant parts of the clang driver. Therefore, the only test added is to ensure that the option is recognized by the frontend.

This has only be tested on x86 Linux.
