      Most system threads use an IdleThreadBlock to hint to debuggers, including the hang analyzer, that it should not print its stacks because the thread is idle.

      This would be a helpful improvement for developers looking at the hang analyzer output. Even though the WaitForMajorityService is often idle here, the stack trace looks suspicious.

      As an example, this is what an idle FTDC thread looks like in the hang_analyzer output:

      Thread 20: "ftdc" (Thread 0x7f3ab6d9b700 (LWP 4200))
      Thread is idle at src/mongo/db/ftdc/controller.cpp:214
      

      and this is what an idle WaitForMajorityService thread looks like:

      Thread 19: "waitForMajority" (Thread 0x7f3ab819d700 (LWP 4198))
