Context: https://github.com/ivoanjo/gvl-tracing/pull/4 Some hooks may want to collect data on a per thread basis. Right now the only way to identify the concerned thread is to use `rb_nativethread_self()` or similar, but even then because of the thread cache or MaNy, two distinct Ruby threads may report the same native thread id. By passing `thread->self`, hooks can use it as a key to store the metadata. NB: Most hooks are executed outside the GVL, so such data collection need to use a thread-safe data-structure, and shouldn't use the reference in other ways from inside the hook. They must also either pin that value or handle compaction.
