std: use an event-flag-based thread parker on SOLID

`Mutex` and `Condvar` are being replaced by more efficient implementations, which need thread parking themselves (see rust-lang#93740). Therefore, the generic `Parker` needs to be replaced on all platforms where the new lock implementation will be used, which, after rust-lang#96393, are SOLID, SGX and Hermit (more PRs coming soon).

SOLID, conforming to the [μITRON specification](http://www.ertl.jp/ITRON/SPEC/FILE/mitron-400e.pdf), has event flags, which are a thread parking primitive very similar to `Parker`. However, they do not make any atomic ordering guarantees (even though those can probably be assumed) and necessitate a system call even when the thread token is already available. Hence, this `Parker`, like the Windows parker, uses an extra atomic state variable.

I future-proofed the code by wrapping the event flag in a `WaitFlag` structure, as both SGX and Hermit can share the Parker implementation, they just have slightly different primitives (SGX uses signals and Hermit has a thread blocking API (which is unfortunately [broken](hermit-os/kernel#442), I think).

``@kawadakk`` I assume you are the target maintainer? Could you test this for me?

//! A wait-flag-based thread parker.
//!
//! Some operating systems provide low-level parking primitives like wait counts,
//! event flags or semaphores which are not susceptible to race conditions (meaning
//! the wakeup can occur before the wait operation). To implement the `std` thread
//! parker on top of these primitives, we only have to ensure that parking is fast
//! when the thread token is available, the atomic ordering guarantees are maintained
//! and spurious wakeups are minimized.
//!
//! To achieve this, this parker uses an atomic variable with three states: `EMPTY`,
//! `PARKED` and `NOTIFIED`:
//! * `EMPTY` means the token has not been made available, but the thread is not
//! currently waiting on it.
//! * `PARKED` means the token is not available and the thread is parked.
//! * `NOTIFIED` means the token is available.
//!
//! `park` and `park_timeout` change the state from `EMPTY` to `PARKED` and from
//! `NOTIFIED` to `EMPTY`. If the state was `NOTIFIED`, the thread was unparked and
//! execution can continue without calling into the OS. If the state was `EMPTY`,
//! the token is not available and the thread waits on the primitive (here called
//! "wait flag").
//!
//! `unpark` changes the state to `NOTIFIED`. If the state was `PARKED`, the thread
//! is or will be sleeping on the wait flag, so we raise it.
