Fix potential flakiness in android_mallopt test.

The set_allocation_limit_multiple_threads test could fail every
once in a while. So rewrite slightly so that the tests wait until
all of the threads are running before letting them start.

I also refactored the code to use std::thread instead of the raw
pthread functions.

Bug: 291672185

Test: Ran the test thousdands of times.
