Summary

This document has two goals:

capture LKL scheduling related concepts and gotchas relevant to pthreads/clone() threads.
document thread creation and termination flows.

@SeanTAllen totally agree that this is not a beginner-friendly document. My intention was to cover the tricky parts(according to me) of SGX-LKL threading stack. And establish just enough ground to be able to do that. I think https://github.com/lsds/sgx-lkl/blob/oe_port/docs/Threading.md is sufficient pre-requisite for this document. I can add that in the document too.

If that was your intent then I think is good in terms of content.
