pthread: Fix pthread_cond_timedwait returning early from timeout

The reason timeouts would sometimes happen before the abstime deadline was due
to rounding errors converting the timeout to milliseconds, and also because
vTaskDelay(1) only delays until the next tick which is less than one full tick
period.

The reason for this is that vTaskDelay(1) will sleep until the start of the next tick,
which can be any amount of time up to one tick period. So if we don't add one more tick,
we're likely to timeout a small time (< 1 tick period) before the requested timeout.
If we add 1 tick then we will timeout a small time (< 1 tick period) after the
requested timeout.

Static initializer constant ``PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER`` is supported.
* The resolution of ``pthread_cond_timedwait()`` timeouts is the RTOS tick period (see :ref:`CONFIG_FREERTOS_HZ`). Timeouts may be delayed up to one tick period after the requested timeout.
