Document thread builder panics for nul bytes in thread names

This seems to have been undocumented. Mention this where the name is set
(Builder::name) and where the panic could happen (Builder::spawn).

Thread::new is private and I think the builder is the only user where
this matters. A short comment was added to "document" Thread::new too.
