Summary:
this changes the explicit pthread usage (and reimplementation of eina_thread_create)
to just use eina function calls. it also causes the thread to start and stop when
profiling is enabled and resolves some possible errors which could occur after
a fork or when trying to compile under windows
pthread usage: this code appears to have been 100% copied from eina_thread.c, and it
isn't clear to me why existing eina_thread api was not used. this has no functional
benefit, but it makes the code more readable
thread lifetime: there is no need to have a thread running at all times for a feature
which will be rarely used and which must be explicitly enabled by the user
windows: this file previously generated a lot of compiler warnings from unused functions
and variables since nothing here is available under windows. the entire file is now
a giant #ifndef _WIN32 to avoid any compile warnings or unexpected runtime behavior

fork() kills this entire subsystem and leaves its internals
in an inactive but allocated state, so it's necessary to explicitly restart
everything in order to guarantee behavior

this should not remain active after eina has been deactivated, so ensure
that everything stops as expected

Summary:
this lock/thread never gets destroyed, so it should not trigger failure cases
when that is always the case
@fix

so xine module plus 2 eina dbug threads didnt set up signal
blocking/masks correctly. xine use ssigprocmask not pthread_sigmask
and the other 2 didnt even bother at all. fix this so these threads
all block most of these commnly caught signals so these threads never
get them
Eina Debug is a new layer aimed for EFL debugging. It offers scalability
by allowing registration of operations not specific to EFL core.
The protocol is simple and the APIs try to provide as much
functionalities/freedom as possible.
