Daniel P. Berrange 64d6750709 Introduce portability APIs for creating threads
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

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
