In the current design, we assume that without --threads option nr_threads==1
and we allocate rec->thread_masks and rec->thread_data as arrays of size 1,
also we move some variables from "struct record" to rec->thread_data and
use thread_data[0] (thru "thread" pointer) in main thread instead of
"struct record". This simplifies the later implementation.

With another approach we could assume nr_threads==0 and use only necessary
"struct record" variables, but this adds many if(record__threads_enabled())

Alexey
