This makes the subsystem thread-safe, more performant, and cleans up the code a little. Also removed SDL_HINT_WINDOWS_FORCE_MUTEX_CRITICAL_SECTIONS, since setting this hint programmatically initializes properties, which creates a lock, so we can't check hints while creating locks. The slim reader-writer locks have been the default for ages and are solid, so we'll just use those when available.
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL) Version 3.0
Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform development library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware. It is used by video playback software, emulators, and popular games including Valve's award winning catalog and many Humble Bundle games.
More extensive documentation is available in the docs directory, starting with README.md. If you are migrating to SDL 3.0 from SDL 2.0, the changes are extensively documented in README-migration.md.
Enjoy!
