Rather than using malloc/free for the buffers, we're now using
HeapAlloc/HeapFree on a HEAP_NO_SERIALIZE heap created for this
thread.
Advantages:
- Less contention. Our malloc/free doesn't scale well in
multithreaded scenarios
- Even faster heap allocation by using a non serialized heap.
- Internal, local, temporary data not cluttering the user heap.
- Internal, local, temporary data not copied over to child process
at fork().
Disadvantage:
- A forked process has to start allocating temporary buffers from
scratch. However, this should be alleviated by the fact that
buffer allocation usually reaches its peak very early in process
runtime, so the longer the proceess runs, the less buffers have
to allocated, and, only few processes don't exec after fork
anyway.

shmat may call shmget. shmget locks by itself as necessary,
so there's no reason to keep the lock active and recurse into
the lock. Use SRWLOCK and only lock as required.

So far we use a single muto to guard three different datastructures
inside class authz_ctx: the authz HANDLE, the user context HANDLE
and the context cache list. Split the single muto into three
independent SRWLOCKs and guard all datastrcutures as necessary to
avoid thread contention.

The old technique was from a time when we had to reduce stack pressure
by moving 64K buffers elsewhere. It was implemented using a static
global buffer, guarded by a muto. However, that adds a lock which may
unnecessarily serialize threads.
Use Windows heap buffers per invocation instead. HeapAlloc/HeapFree are
pretty fast, scale nicely in multithreaded scenarios and don't serialize
threads unnecessarily.

CloseHandle gets redefined to a macro calling an internal function
in debug.h when building with -DDEBUGGING, but profiler has no access
to that function.

This patch makes syscalls for SH architecture respecting the global option
"--disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls". This is useful when a bare-metal
toolchain is needed.

This simple testcase:
locale_t st = newlocale(LC_ALL_MASK, "C", (locale_t)0);
locale_t st2 = newlocale(LC_CTYPE_MASK, "en_US.UTF-8", st);
is sufficient to reproduce a crash in _newlocale_r. After the first call
to newlocale, `st' points to __C_locale, which is const. When using `st'
as locale base in the second call, _newlocale_r tries to set pointers
inside base to NULL. This is bad if base is __C_locale, obviously.
Add a test to avoid trying to overwrite pointer values inside base if
base is __C_locale.

This way, the sem API is all in the same place, even if the
underlying semaphore class is still in thread.cc.

Rename CygwinCreateThread to create_posix_thread and move
from miscfuncs.cc to create_posix_thread.cc, inbcluding all
related functions. Analogue for the prototypes.

Currently it is possible for symlink_info::check to return -1 in case
we're searching for foo and find foo.lnk that is not a Cygwin symlink.
This contradicts the new meaning attached to a negative return value
in commit 19d59ce75d. Fix this by setting "res" to 0 at the beginning
of the main loop and not seting it to -1 later.
Also fix the commentary preceding the function definition to reflect
the current behavior.

provide entire internal and external pthread API from inside the
same file.
While I dislike to have another even larger file, this is basically
cleaning up the source and grouping the external API into useful
chunks. Splitting the file cleanly is tricky due to usage of inline
methods is_good_object and verifyable_object_isvalid.

This function is just bad. It really only works for ASCII
chars, everything else is broken after the conversion.
Introduce new helper function sys_mbstouni to replace
RtlCreateUnicodeStringFromAsciiz in hash_path_name.

mount_info::get_mounts_here used RtlCreateUnicodeStringFromAsciiz
which translates bytes into wide chars verbatim.
Create a new function sys_mbstouni_alloc which can be used from
mount_info::get_mounts_here to convert multibyte mount point
strings to UNICODE_STRINGS in a locale-aware way.
For symmetry, create a function mount_info::free_mounts_here,
so the knwoledge how to free the UNICODE_STRING buffers is
encapsulated in the same class.

This reverts commit d9e9c7b5a7. The latter added ".dll" to the
blessed_executable_suffixes array because on 32-bit Windows, the
GetBinaryType function would report that a 64-bit DLL is an
executable, contrary to the documentation of that function.
That anomaly does not exist on 64-bit Windows, so we can remove ".dll"
from the list. Reverting the commit does, however, change the
behavior of the rename(2) syscall in the following unlikely situation:
Suppose we have an executable foo.exe and we make the call
rename ("foo", "bar.dll");
Previously, foo.exe would be renamed to bar.dll. So bar.dll would
then be an executable without the .exe extension. The new behavior is
that foo.exe will be renamed to bar.dll.exe. [Exception: If there
already existed an executable (not a DLL!) with the name bar.dll, then
.exe will not be appended.]
The actual reason for these wrappers are lost in time, there's no
hint even in the pre-2000 ChangeLog files. Apparently they were
masking the prototypes or, alternatively, macros from newlib to
clash with the definitions in syscalls.cc.
They are not needed anymore, so just drop them.
This uncovered that the buffer pointer to pwrite is erronously
non-const. Fix this on the way out.
