thread library - thread_specific_ptr documentation gives obsolete recomendation

Description

thread_specific_ptr documentation says

Though compilers often provide this facility in the form of extensions to the declaration syntax (such as _declspec(thread) or thread annotations on static or namespace-scope variable declarations), such support is non-portable, and is often limited in some way, such as only supporting POD types.

Now as we have portable thread_local in current compilers, it should be prefered to use thread_local, since thread_specific_ptr has known performance limitation.
