See http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html, section "The
SignalObjectAndWait solution". But note that this implementation does not
use SignalObjectAndWait (which is needed to achieve fairness, but we do
not need fairness).
Note that our implementations of pthread_cond_broadcast and
pthread_cond_signal require that they are invoked with the mutex held that
is used in the pthread_cond_wait calls.

This patch implements native to Windows subset of pthreads API used by Git.
It allows to remove Pthreads for Win32 dependency for MSVC, msysgit and
Cygwin.
[J6t: If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build
environment, then threading was already enabled because the
pthreads-win32 package is available in msysgit. With this patch, we can now
enable threaded code unconditionally.]
