We've been pinning the render thread for every EFL process to core 0.
This is a bit silly in the first place, but some big.LITTLE arm systems,
such as exynos 5422, have the LITTLE cores first.
On those systems we put all the render threads on a slow core.
This attempts to fix that by using a random core from the pool of fast
cores.
If we can't determine which cores are fast (ie: we're not on a
linux kernel with cpufreq enabled) then we'll continue doing what we've
always done - pin to core 0.

It's entirely possible that a system doesn't have a cpu 0, so
when we try to pin all our render threads onto processor 0 we
may fail.
This results in some very connfusing build breakage when
edje_cc hangs up because its render thread didn't start.
So, if starting the thread with affinity fails, let's try without
affinity.
(This is trivial to reproduce - just use sysfs to turn off cpu0
after boot.)
@fix
Being annoyed by different types of eina critical macros - CRI, CRIT,
CRITICAL -, I concluded to unify them to one. Discussed on IRC and
finally, CRI was chosen to meet the consistency with other macros -
ERR, WRN, INF, DBG - in terms of the number of characters.
If there is any missing bits, please let me know.
Evas_Common.h should be used for the public header, and rather rename
evas_common.h internal header to another name.
Sa:
Evas_Common_Header.h -> Evas_Common.h
evas_common.h -> evas_common_private.h
Shouldn't have both Evas_Common.h and evas_common.h because of case
insensitive filesystems.
Fixed queue cache handling to let enqueue and process happen at the same
time, even though this is not our use case yet. This also solves a race
with the assignment of cache variables outside the queue lock and
remembers to free the cache when shutting down.

NOTE: There is still an issue with text rendering, that
is still 4 times slower and impact all text object (text,
textblock and textgrid).
