Prior to this, BoringSSL was using OpenSSL's technique of having users
register a callback for locking operation. This change adds native mutex
support.
Since mutexes often need to be in objects that are exposed via public
headers, the non-static mutexes are defined in thread.h. However, on
Windows we don't want to #include windows.h for CRITICAL_SECTION and, on
Linux, pthread.h doesn't define pthread_rwlock_t unless the feature
flags are set correctly—something that we can't control in general
for public header files. Thus, on both platforms, the mutex is defined
as a uint8_t[] of equal or greater size and we depend on static asserts
to ensure that everything works out ok.

Historically, OpenSSL has used callbacks for anything thread related,
but we don't actually have that many threading libraries to worry about:
just pthreads and Windows (I hope).
That suggests that it's quite reasonable to handle threading ourselves,
and eliminate the need for users to remember to install the thread
callbacks.
The first user of this would be ERR, which currently simulates
thread-local storage using a lock around a hash table keyed by the TID.
(Although I suspect that change will need some CMake work in order that
libpthread is automatically included with libcrypto when linking tests
etc, but not on Windows and without lots of ifs.)
