On Windows, we use `OSThread::_state` in `os::create_thread` before it has been initialized. This causes asserts to fire in `Thread::is_JavaThread_protected` (`assert(target->is_handshake_safe_for(current_thread)`)

Only happens if the following is true:
- We log os=info level, thereby firing the "Thread started.." log output the parent thread of a newly started child thread writes. Since JDK-8268773, we also print the thread name. `Thread::name()` uses `Thread::is_JavaThread_protected`, but on Windows the thread state has not been set yet.
- This is an assert, so only debug, but in debug newly malloced memory is poisened with "F1F1F1F1...", which hides the error since  `Thread::is_JavaThread_protected` compares the thread state like this:
```
  if (target->osthread() == NULL || target->osthread()->get_state() <= INITIALIZED) {
    return true;
  }
```
and the compiler interprets the "F1F1F1F1"-filled enum as a signed integer and hence a negative large value. Changing the init pattern to 0x01, or adding an explicit cast to unsigned, causes the assert to fire as soon as logging is switched on.
