AST-2017-013: chan_skinny: Call pthread_detach when sess threads end

chan_skinny creates a new thread for each new session.  In trying
to be a good cleanup citizen, the threads are joinable and the
unload_module function does a pthread_cancel() and a pthread_join()
on any sessions that are active at that time.  This has an
unintended side effect though. Since you can call pthread_join on a
thread that's already terminated, pthreads keeps the thread's
storage around until you explicitly call pthread_join (or
pthread_detach()).   Since only the module_unload function was
calling pthread_join, and even then only on the ones active at the
tme, the storage for every thread/session ever created sticks
around until asterisk exits.

* A thread can detach itself so the session_destroy() function
  now calls pthread_detach() just before it frees the session
  memory allocation.  The module_unload function still takes care
  of the ones that are still active should the module be unloaded.
