[LTP] [PATCH v1] OpenPOSIX: Return PTS_UNTESTED when detaching or joining joined thread returns 0

The previous commit allowed a 0 return value, but as suggested by Cyril,
returning PTS_UNTESTED is more appropriate for Open POSIX testsuite when
the implementation does not trigger the optional ESRCH error.

Latest test in our openqa setup (Linux 7.1-rc2, Glibc 2.43) show following errors:
- pthread_detach_4-2: Test FAILED: Incorrect return code: 0 instead of ESRCH
- pthread_join_6-2: Test FAILED: Return code should be ESRCH, but is: 0 instead.

These are caused by glibc commit 5da15b15adab661c80e373b6af89be0b5fa5b3ad
("nptl: Do not use pthread set_tid_address as state synchronization (BZ #19951)").

Fixes: 630827d58634 ("OpenPOSIX: Allow 0 return value when detaching or joining joined thread")
