The pthread_exit() function is not expected to return. Ever. On Windows,
we call ExitThread() whose documentation claims: "Ends the calling
thread", i.e. there is no condition in which this function simply
returns: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682659
While at it, fix the return type to be void, as per
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/pthread_exit.html

The mutex used to protect object access (read_mutex) may need to be
acquired recursively. Introduce init_recursive_mutex() helper function
in thread-utils.c that constructs a mutex with the PHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE
attribute.
pthread_mutex_init() emulation on Win32 is already recursive as it is
implemented on top of the CRITICAL_SECTION type, which is recursive.

See http://www.cse.wustl.edu/~schmidt/win32-cv-1.html, section "The
SignalObjectAndWait solution". But note that this implementation does not
use SignalObjectAndWait (which is needed to achieve fairness, but we do
not need fairness).
Note that our implementations of pthread_cond_broadcast and
pthread_cond_signal require that they are invoked with the mutex held that
is used in the pthread_cond_wait calls.

This patch implements native to Windows subset of pthreads API used by Git.
It allows to remove Pthreads for Win32 dependency for MSVC, msysgit and
Cygwin.
[J6t: If the MinGW build was built as part of the msysgit build
environment, then threading was already enabled because the
pthreads-win32 package is available in msysgit. With this patch, we can now
enable threaded code unconditionally.]
