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.

* Locks mutex.
*
* Here's an example of using a normal mutex:
*
* pthread_mutex_t lock = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
* pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
* // do work...
* pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
* pthread_mutex_destroy(&lock);
*
* Cosmopolitan permits succinct notation for normal mutexes:
*
* pthread_mutex_t lock = {0};
* pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
* // do work...
* pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
*
* Here's an example of the proper way to do recursive mutexes:
*
* pthread_mutex_t lock;
* pthread_mutexattr_t attr;
* pthread_mutexattr_init(&attr);
* pthread_mutexattr_settype(&attr, PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE);
* pthread_mutex_init(&lock, &attr);
* pthread_mutexattr_destroy(&attr);
* pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
* // do work...
* pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
* pthread_mutex_destroy(&lock);
*
* This function does nothing in vfork() children.
*
* You can debug locks the acquisition of locks by building your program
* with `cosmocc -mdbg` and passing the `--strace` flag to your program.
* This will cause a line to be logged each time a mutex or spin lock is
* locked or unlocked. When locking, this is printed after the lock gets
* acquired. The entry to the lock operation will be logged too but only
* if the lock couldn't be immediately acquired. Lock logging works best
* when `mutex` refers to a static variable, in which case its name will
* be printed in the log.
*
* @return 0 on success, or error number on failure
* @see pthread_spin_lock()
* @vforksafe
