d5312b60f7 Make improvements to locking
This change makes pthread_mutex_lock() as fast as _spinlock() by
default. Thread instability issues on NetBSD have been resolved.
Improvements made to gdtoa thread code. Crash reporting will now
synchronize between threads in a slightly better way.

8b72490431 Make mutex calling code 10x tinier
Calls to lock/unlock functions are now NOPs by default. The first time
clone() is called, they get turned into CALL instructions. Doing this
caused funcctions like fputc() to shrink from 85 bytes to 45+4 bytes.
Since the ANSI solution of `(__threaded && lock())` inlines os much
superfluous binary content into functions all over the place.

c260345e06 Make locks more reliable
This change switches most of the core locks to be re-entrant, in order
to reduce the chance of deadlocking code that does, clever things with
asynchronous signal handlers. This change implements it it in pthreads
so we're one step closer to having a standardized threading primitives
