The thread-local-storage feature in FreeRTOS attaches an application-usable array of pointers to a thread control block. These pointers usually point to a structure the thread allocates. When a thread gets (voluntarily or involuntarily) destroyed, this memory can leak. This merge adds a matching second array of user-settable pointers to destructor routines. As soon as the task gets cleaned up (which happens in the idle thread), the destructors get called and the memory can be freed.
