fork: Explicity test for idle tasks in copy_thread
The architectures ia64 and parisc have special handling for the idle thread in copy_process. Add a flag named idle to kernel_clone_args and use it to explicity test if an idle process is being created. Fullfill the expectations of the rest of the copy_thread implemetations and pass a function pointer in .stack from fork_idle(). This makes what is happening in copy_thread better defined, and is useful to make idle threads less special.
