 Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 RC

 While being linked statically with threads library, the EXE exits with the
 code 255 right after the start.

 The problem is because of _PVFV/_PIFV function type mixup in
 /boost/libs/thread/src/win32/tss_pe.cpp - the on_tls_prepare() is expected
 to return zero, but it does not initialize the return value.

 Seems that after the refactoring of CRT in VC2017 this inconsistency have
 become critical.

 The fix proposed is in the attached version of tss_pe.cpp .
