Move the common plugin scanning dir stuff to be based on lws_dir, which
already builds for windows. Previously this was done via dirent for unix
and libuv for windows.
Reduce the dl plat stuff to just wrap instantiation and destruction of
dynlibs, establish common code in lib/misc/dir.c for plugin scanning
itself.
Migrate the libuv windows dl stuff to windows-plugins.c, so that he's
available even if later libuv loop support becomes and event lib plugin.
Remove the existing api exports scheme for plugins, just export a const struct
now which has a fixed header type but then whatever you want afterwards depending
on the class / purpose of the plugin. Place a "class" string in the header so
there can be different kinds of plugins implying different types exported.
Make the plugin apis public and add support for filter by class string, and
per instantation / destruction callbacks so the subclassed header type can
do its thing for the plugin class. The user provides a linked-list base
for his class of plugins, so he can manage them completely separately and
in user code / user export types.
Rip out some last hangers-on from generic sessions / tables.
This is all aimed at making the plugins support general enough so it can
provide event lib plugins later.
Fix pthreads detection in the minimal examples and add it where needed.
Fix unistd.h include to be conditional on not WIN32
With this, -DLWS_WITH_MINIMAL_EXAMPLES=1 is happy and warning-free
on windows.

thanks to Bruce Perens for noting it.
This doesn't change the intention or status of the CC0 files, they were
pure CC0 before (ie, public domain) and they are pure CC0 now. It just
gets rid of the (C) part at the top of the dedication which may be read
to be a bit contradictory since the purpose is to make it public domain.

rx flow control needs to handle the situation that it is draining from
a previous rx flow control period, and the user code reasserts rx flow
control partway through that.
The accounting for the used rx then boils down to only trimming the
rxflow buflist we were "replaying" to consume however much we managed
to deliver of that this time before the rx flow control came again.
"Normal" rx consumption is wrong in this case, since we accounted for
it entirely in the rxflow cache buflist.
The patch recognizes this situation, does the accounting in the cache
buflist, and then lies to the caller that there was no rx consumption
to be accounted for at his level.
