This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. The main changes
are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files in liburcu; 2)
removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in synchronize_rcu,
which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing futexes in
synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability. The API is
the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future to require
liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only on Windows.
Among the various versions available I chose urcu-mb, which is the
least invasive implementation even though it does not have the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can
be changed later, after benchmarking.

Destructors are the main additional feature of pthread TLS compared
to __thread. If we were using C++ (hint, hint!) we could have used
thread-local objects with a destructor. Since we are not, instead,
we add a simple Notifier-based API.
Note that the notifier must be per-thread as well. We can add a
global list as well later, perhaps.
The Win32 implementation has some complications because a) detached
threads used not to have a QemuThreadData; b) the main thread does
not go through win32_start_routine, so we have to use atexit too.

This emulates Win32 manual-reset events using futexes or conditional
variables. Typical ways to use them are with multi-producer,
single-consumer data structures, to test for a complex condition whose
elements come from different threads:
for (;;) {
qemu_event_reset(ev);
... test complex condition ...
if (condition is true) {
break;
}
qemu_event_wait(ev);
}
Or more efficiently (but with some duplication):
... evaluate condition ...
while (!condition) {
qemu_event_reset(ev);
... evaluate condition ...
if (!condition) {
qemu_event_wait(ev);
... evaluate condition ...
}
}
QemuEvent provides a very fast userspace path in the common case when
no other thread is waiting, or the event is not changing state.
