Ok, but that seems like a big caveat missing from the documentation, because that's not how pthread works. |

Wasn't sure if we could get away with deleting the `uv_thread_detach`, but apparently we can. On Windows, it's definitely unsafe to keep using the thread handle after closing it. POSIX is a little less clear about what you're allowed to do with a `pthread_t` after detaching it, but the GC threads never exit normally anyway. Fixes #60042. (cherry picked from commit d8b5662)
