Rewrite the documentation for forkOS again
Try to make it clearer that forkOS is only necessary when calling
foreing libraries that use thread-local state, and it has nothing to
do with scheduling behaviour between Haskell threads.  I also added
something about the performance impact of forkOS, and mentioned that
the main thread is a bound thread.
