The build_reads_from_past calculation shouldn't be part of the action

In the future, we will assume that all check_curren_action code (after

this also fixes up the build_reads_from_past code so that it skips the current
action.

model: fix release_seq for open-ended synchronization

This fix handles the case where a thread may not yet have synchronized in a way
that ensures no future writes may break a release sequence. If we encounter
such a thread, we can return false (uncertain) and re-check this potential
release sequence later in the execution.

architecture, since we will never have NULL actions passed to the ModelChecker.

model/schedule: revise 'nextThread' data flow

The ModelChecker::nextThread field was being abused a little in my aging
design. It really should be either a private field (not accessed even via
accessors) or else just a return value / function parameter.

This commit makes a change so that nextThread is a Thread pointer and is
directly supplied to the Scheduler. If it is NULL, then the Scheduler is
allowed to pick its own Thread to run.
