win32: use _endthreadex to terminate threads, not ExitThread
Because we use the C runtime and use _beginthreadex to create pthreads, pthread_exit MUST use _endthreadex. Otherwise, according to Microsoft: "Failure to do so results in small memory leaks when the thread calls ExitThread." Simply put, this is not the same as ExitThread.
