Make Cosmo mutexes competitive with Apple Libc
While we have always licked glibc and musl libc on gnu/systemd sadly the
Apple Libc implementation of pthread_mutex_t is better than ours. It may
be due to how the XNU kernel and M2 microprocessor are in league when it
comes to scheduling processes and the NSYNC behavior is being penalized.
We can solve this by leaning more heavily on ulock using Drepper's algo.
It's kind of ironic that Linux's official mutexes work terribly on Linux
but almost as good as Apple Libc if used on MacOS.

Make malloc scalable on all platforms
It turns out sched_getcpu() didn't work on many platforms. So the system
call now has tests and is well documented. We now employ new workarounds
on platforms where it isn't supported in our malloc() implementation. It
was previously the case that malloc() was only scalable on Linux/Windows
for x86-64. Now the other platforms are scalable too.
