The util/threads.c/h code already has APIs for mutexes,
condition variables and thread locals. This commit adds
in code for actually creating threads.
* src/libvirt_private.syms: Export new symbols
* src/util/threads.h: Define APIs virThreadCreate, virThreadSelf,
virThreadIsSelf and virThreadJoin
* src/util/threads-win32.c, src/util/threads-win32.h: Win32
impl of threads
* src/util/threads-pthread.c, src/util/threads-pthread.h: POSIX
impl of threads
This patch adds recursive locks necessary due to the processing of
network filter XML that can reference other network filters, including
references that cause looks. Loops in the XML are prevented but their
detection requires recursive locks.

POSIX states that creation of a mutex with default attributes
is unspecified whether the mutex is recursive or non-recursive.
We specifically want non-recursive (deadlock is desirable in
flushing out coding bugs that used our mutex incorrectly).
* src/util/threads-pthread.c (virMutexInit): Specifically request
non-recursive mutex, rather than relying on unspecified default.
* src/util/threads-pthread.c: pthreads APIs do not set errno, instead
the return value is the positive errno. Set errno based on the return
value in the wrappers
