Issue #, and/or reason for changes (REQUIRED):
This contribution adds cross-compilation support for QNX operating system to aws-c-common.
Motivation
QNX is an industry standard real-time operating system for embedded systems, particularly for vehicles, featuring safety focused features. It has also recently been made free for non-commercial use through the QNX Everywhere program, aiming for students, researchers and hobbyists to experiment with the OS.
Given that aws-c-common is a core package supporting multiple AWS dependencies, it would be great to enable aws-c-common to run natively on free version of QNX OS.
Description of changes:
pthread

since QNX does not have explicit pthread library but rather included in QNX libcINSTALL_INTERFACE
