clone: prepare to recycle CLONE_STOPPED
Ulrich says that we never used this clone flags and that nothing should be using it. As we're down to only a single bit left in clone's flags argument, let's add a warning to check that no userspace is actually using it. Hopefully we will be able to recycle it. Roland said: CLONE_STOPPED was previously used by some NTPL versions when under thread_db (i.e. only when being actively debugged by gdb), but not for a long time now, and it never worked reliably when it was used. Removing it seems fine to me.
