Carlos Martín Nieto 8cef828d8d Make the memory-window conrol structures global
Up to now, the idea was that the user would do all the operations for
one repository in the same thread. Thus we could have the
memory-mapped window information thread-local and avoid any locking.

This is not practical in a few environments, such as Apple's GCD which
allocates threads arbitrarily or the .NET CLR, where the OS-level
thread can change at any moment.

Make the control structure global and protect it with a mutex so we
don't depend on the thread currently executing the code.

/**
* Handle the global state with TLS
*
* If libgit2 is built with GIT_THREADS enabled,
* the `git_threads_init()` function must be called
* before calling any other function of the library.
*
* This function allocates a TLS index (using pthreads
* or the native Win32 API) to store the global state
* on a per-thread basis.
*
* Any internal method that requires global state will
* then call `git__global_state()` which returns a pointer
* to the global state structure; this pointer is lazily
* allocated on each thread.
*
* Before shutting down the library, the
* `git_threads_shutdown` method must be called to free
* the previously reserved TLS index.
*
* If libgit2 is built without threading support, the
* `git__global_statestate()` call returns a pointer to a single,
* statically allocated global state. The `git_thread_`
* functions are not available in that case.
