model: fix leaking "pending actions"

ModelActions that are "pending" for each thread are not automatically
freed when we rollback; we keep most of the active ModelActions on the
NodeStack, then we free them from there when we explore a new branch of
the state space.

This fix causes all the pending actions to be freed on any rollback.
This is safe for now, since we always roll back to the beginning of the
execution. If we roll back to an intermediate point, though, we need to
retain those pending actions which were also pending before the rollback
point. Hence the FIXME notice included in reset_to_initial_state().

threads/model: allocate Thread from w/in ModelChecker

It adds scheduling difficulties if we allocate/schedule a Thread from
the user-context (i.e., directly from the thrd_create() interface)
because then it is not necessarily atomic. For example, if we run a
thread up to its context switch for a THREAD_CREATE then switch to
another thread before the THREAD_CREATE is processed, then we will
already have constructed a Thread from the first thread (and prepared it
for scheduling) without processing it in the ModelChecker appropriately.
For instance, the following schedule might appear, causing problems:

 TID    ACTION
 ---    ------
    ...
  1     ATOMIC_READ         <--- Next action is THREAD_CREATE
 (1)    (construct Thread 3)
 (1)    (prepare new Thread for Scheduling)
  2     ATOMIC_READ
  3     THREAD_START        <--- Before its CREATE event??
  1     THREAD_CREATE

Note that this scheduling does not yet happen, as we always execute
the "lead-in" to THREAD_CREATE atomically. This may change, though.
