400c5e5c83 use restrict everywhere it's required by c99 and/or posix 2008
to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.

ec381af902 unify and overhaul timed futex waits
new features:

- FUTEX_WAIT_BITSET op will be used for timed waits if available. this
  saves a call to clock_gettime.

- error checking for the timespec struct is now inside __timedwait so
  it doesn't need to be duplicated everywhere. cond_timedwait still
  needs to duplicate it to avoid unlocking the mutex, though.

- pushing and popping the cancellation handler is delegated to
  __timedwait, and cancellable/non-cancellable waits are unified.

c68de0be2f avoid accessing mutex memory after atomic unlock
this change is needed to fix a race condition and ensure that it's
possible to unlock and destroy or unmap the mutex as soon as
pthread_mutex_lock succeeds. POSIX explicitly gives such an example in
the rationale and requires an implementation to allow such usage.

047e434ef5 implement robust mutexes
some of this code should be cleaned up, e.g. using macros for some of
the bit flags, masks, etc. nonetheless, the code is believed to be
working and correct at this point.

e882756311 reorganize pthread data structures and move the definitions to alltypes.h
this allows sys/types.h to provide the pthread types, as required by
POSIX. this design also facilitates forcing ABI-compatible sizes in
the arch-specific alltypes.h, while eliminating the need for
developers changing the internals of the pthread types to poke around
with arch-specific headers they may not be able to test.
