embed.pl: Fix BBC build failures #24196, #24197
Fixes #24196
Fixes #24197
This bug stemmed from a C preprocessor nuance that I was unaware of. It
only happened on unthreaded builds and only affected functions that have
a single argument, the thread context, so that on unthreaded builds,
these have 0 parameters. The preprocessor dropped the parens indicating
there is an argument list (empty), which led to compilation errors.
It does not do this if there is at least one argument besides the thread
context one.
The solution is to extend the use of a paradigm already in effect for
other situations, so that there is a placeholder argument for the thread
context that gets dropped. This is only defined on unthreaded builds.
It is cleaner to do this for unaffected functions as well, (those that
have an argument besides the thread context).
Threaded is unchanged.

embed.pl: Don't generate prototypes for macros
On unthreaded builds, the elements changed by this commit are macros, so
a prototype is useless. Simply #ifdef them to threaded only.
