Merge #18709: doc: note why we can't use thread_local with glibc back compat

20a30922fbf6ba14e250ca649239af115dbbe7b0 doc: note why we can't use thread_local with glibc back compat (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Given that we went through a [gitian build](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18681) to remember why this is the case, we might as well make a note of it in configure.ac.
[From #18681](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18681#issuecomment-615526634):
Looking at the Linux build log, this has failed with:
```bash

qt/bitcoin-qt: symbol __cxa_thread_atexit_impl from unsupported version GLIBC_2.18
```
`__cxa_thread_atexit_impl` is used for [thread_local variable destruction](https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Destructor%20support%20for%20thread_local%20variables):
> To implement this support, glibc defines __cxa_thread_atexit_impl exclusively for use by libstdc++ (which has the __cxa_thread_atexit to wrap around it), that registers destructors for thread_local variables in a list. Upon thread or process exit, the destructors are called in reverse order in which they were added.
As suggested, this only became available in glibc 2.18. From the [2.18 release notes](https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html):
> * Add support for calling C++11 thread_local object destructors on thread
and program exit. This needs compiler support for offloading C++11
destructor calls to glibc.
