Looks to me like krb5int_thread_detach_hook should mostly be doing
that. It's the handler in the support library, but all our TSD use is
funneled through some bookkeeping in the support library, to improve
things on platforms where OS handles (TLS indices, pthread keys) on
TSD may be a limited resource. It ought to be deallocating any
registered per-thread data, though it looks like maybe the bookkeeping
data itself isn't properly freed.
