This is a huge patch that should be a global NOP.
For unix type platforms it enables -Wconversion to issue warnings (-> error)
for all automatic casts that seem less than ideal but are normally concealed
by the toolchain.
This is things like passing an int to a size_t argument. Once enabled, I
went through all args on my default build (which build most things) and
tried to make the removed default cast explicit.
With that approach it neither change nor bloat the code, since it compiles
to whatever it was doing before, just with the casts made explicit... in a
few cases I changed some length args from int to size_t but largely left
the causes alone.
From now on, new code that is relying on less than ideal casting
will complain and nudge me to improve it by warnings.
Add support for external pthreads lib on windows and some docs about how to do.
It can build with LWS_WITH_THREADPOOL and LWS_WITH_MINIMAL_EXAMPLES including the
pthreads-dependent ones without warnings or errors on windows platform as well with this.
pthreads_t can be anything, including a struct - not a pointer-to-a-struct
but the struct itself. These can't be cast to a void * for printing as they can
on linux, where the base type is a pointer.
Let's fix all the usage of those to determine their own thread index in terms
of the meaning to the program rather than as a tid.

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.
