Description
os::<os>::supports_variable_stack_size() is used to indicate whether the underlying thread implementation supports setting individual stack sizes for thread stacks (e.g. via pthread_attr_setstacksize()).

All our platforms support this (the only one which didn't was the old LinuxThreads implementation which preceeded NPTL). So, this function can be removed.
