I have removed detail::thread_move(). Instead, I've added boost::move
overloads for the movable types in boost.thread: thread, unique_lock<>,
shared_lock<>, upgrade_lock<>. Since these overloads take specific parameter
types, they shouldn't cause the problems that the unconstrained template
caused before.
