Don't ask for bug reports about pthread_is_threaded_np() != 0.
We thought that this condition was unreachable in ExitPostmaster, but actually it's possible if you have both a misconfigured locale setting and some other mistake that causes PostmasterMain to bail out before reaching its own check of pthread_is_threaded_np(). Given the lack of other reports, let's not ask for bug reports if this occurs; instead just give the same hint as in PostmasterMain.
