* No need for the atomically changed variables to be declared as
volatile.
* Drop support for atomically getting and setting unaligned data.
* Introduce atomic_get_and_set[64]() which works the same as
atomic_set[64]() used to. atomic_set[64]() does not return the
previous value anymore.
- Reimplemented mutex to use the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- The initializer functions cannot fail anymore -- changed their return type
to void.
- Changed the initializer function semantics to not copy the name by default
anymore (as in the kernel). Also added *_etc() versions of them that take an
additional flags.
- Added static initializer macros.
- Made the mutex (and thus recursive_lock) lock functions non-interruptable.
- Got rid of the "lazy" version. They are no longer needed, since the
initialization of the standard types can be done statically and cannot fail.
* Adjusted libroot, runtime loader, and other code using the private libroot
locking primitives to the new semantics.
* pthreads mutexes and condition variables:
- Reimplemented using the _kern_mutex*() syscalls.
- Consistently use POSIX error codes.
- Fixed some not quite POSIX compliant behavior.

difference that the initialization function has an additional void* argument,
so that it is suitable for initializing stuff in objects.

* Split locks.cpp into mutex.cpp, recursive_lock.cpp, and rw_lock.cpp (new
subdirectory locks/).
* runtime_loader no longer includes the rw_lock, allowing removal of the TLS
dependency again.

as a mutex, but allocates its semaphore lazily. This comes at the cost of an
additional atomic_add() when the semaphore has actually to be acquired, but
saves the semaphore creation completely in single-threaded programs and in
any program when there's no lock contention.

libroot. The mutex is a simple benaphore, the rw_lock is pretty much the same
as the one from libkernelland_emu but uses a mutex per lock instead of emulating
a global thread lock. Also added MutexLocking and RWLock{Read|Write}Locking and
AutoLockers based on them. It's cased with __cplusplus so the locks are also
usable from C. Everything's currently exposed in shared/private/locks.h but I
think we should make these locking primitves public.
