I don't know why this was deactivated explicitly on OS X (do you remember, Allan?), but haven't seen issues with KSDC_THREAD_PROCESS_SHARED_SUPPORTED - for now.

The code seems to be license-compatible, so I removed the code for non-OS X platforms, and include it in `kshareddatacache_p.h`. Again, this seems to work.
