Description

The docs/comments for hythread_detach() and HyThreadLibrary->thread_detach() should be amended
to note the limitation that these functions can only be used to detach the current thread (and not any
arbitrary thread).

Because these funcs accept a hythread_t parameter, this may not be obvious.

This limitation exists because the implementation may use some thread local storage.
