the lock is held by other thread, but not when nobody owns it. According
to deischen@, this part of code will never be hit in our threads
library, since it does not use locks without wait/wakeup functions.

instead of long types for low-level locks.
Add prototypes for some internal libc functions that are
wrapped by the library as cancellation points.
Add memory barriers to alpha atomic swap functions (submitted
by davidxu).

a lock is being waitied on.
Fix a races in join and cancellation.
When trying to wait on a CV and the library is not yet
threaded, make it threaded so that waiting actually works.
When trying to nanosleep() and we're not threaded, just
call the system call nanosleep instead of adding the thread
to the wait queue.
Clean up adding/removing new threads to the "all threads queue",
assigning them unique ids, and tracking how many active threads
there are. Do it all when the thread is added to the scheduling
queue instead of making pthread_create() know how to do it.
Fix a race where a thread could be marked for signal delivery
but it could be exited before we actually add the signal to it.
Other minor cleanups and bug fixes.

lock held (_thr_sched_switch_unlocked()) and use this to avoid
dropping the scheduler lock and having the scheduler retake the
same lock again.
Add a better way of detecting if a low-level lock is in use.
When switching out a thread due to blocking in the UTS, don't
switch to the KSE's scheduler stack only to switch back to
another thread. If possible switch to the new thread directly
from the old thread and avoid the overhead of the extra
context switch.
Check for pending signals on a thread when entering the scheduler
and add them to the threads signal frame. This includes some
other minor signal fixes.
Most of this was a joint effor between davidxu and myself.
