Andrzej Jackowski 77a9b5919b main: utils: add thread names to alien workers
This commit adds a call to `pthread_setname_np` in
`alien_worker::spawn`, so each alien worker thread receives a
descriptive name. This makes debugging, monitoring, and performance
analysis easier by allowing alien workers to be clearly identified
in tools such as `perf`.
