Thread safety is disabled by default.
Enable it with --enable-thread-safety
Should cover timers, events, animators, idlers and fd handlers.
Tested with Enlightenment and elementary_test.

Thanks cedric for technical advice.
Thanks discomfitor for helping when English vanished.
Thanks myself for keeping both of them busy so they don't break SVN *too* much.

Rearrange the the order of startup to avoid triggering
the thread checks in ecore_event_type_new().

NOTE: for an unknow reason I always get the wrong number
of threads when doing the computation from the thread.
Even if I use volatile and mutex. So to avoid that move
that stuff in the main loop. It increase the complexity
of the code, but at least it work.

usleep() does not exists on Windows. Use Sleep() instead. But the
resolution timers are not good on Windows. the sleep will be around
50ms at best.

This code is here to prevent the premature death of thread when
apps killall of them, before recreating them again. This avoid
call to pthread_create and increase throughput. The only information
that I couldn't determine pragmatically is the timing. So that's
the time the main loop has to create another Ecore_Thread, before
needing to call pthread_create again.

match ecore_thread_feedback_run better.
NOTE: I know it breaks API/ABI compatibility for that call,
but that's the only sane solution I could found.

Lowering priority was wrong. Some bugs:
1) You don't lower the priority by setting the scheduler policy to some
of the real-time ones (SCHED_RR or SCHER_FIFO). If you do so, you are
actually increasing the priority of the workers and your main thread
you be preempted and stalled until the workers complete their job.
Fortunately this will only happen if your programming is running as
root, as normal users (without CAP_SYS_NICE) are unable to set
priority to real-time values.
2) setpriority() and getpriority() are not part of pthread and you can't
use the id returned by pthread. Manpage explicitly says so on
pthread_self(3):
"The thread ID returned by pthread_self() is not the same thing as the
kernel thread ID returned by a call to gettid(2)."
Since glibc does not have a gettid, here we are using
syscall(SYS_gettid)
This patch was tested with the program below. Compile and run:
$ gcc p_hello2.c -o p_hello2 -lpthread
$ ./p_hello2 10
You'll see that the main thread remains with its priority and threads
created by the main thread change their own niceness.
#include <errno.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <sched.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/resource.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
/* Lower priority of current thread.
*
* It's used by worker threads so they use up "bg cpu" as it was really intended
* to work. If current thread is running with real-time priority, we decrease
* our priority by 5. This is done in a portable way. Otherwise we are
* running with SCHED_OTHER policy and there's no portable way to set the nice
* level on current thread. In Linux, it does work and it's the only one that is
* implemented.
