fork: Explicity test for idle tasks in copy_thread
The architectures ia64 and parisc have special handling for the idle
thread in copy_process. Add a flag named idle to kernel_clone_args
and use it to explicity test if an idle process is being created.
Fullfill the expectations of the rest of the copy_thread
implemetations and pass a function pointer in .stack from fork_idle().
This makes what is happening in copy_thread better defined, and is
useful to make idle threads less special.
