This adds support for multithreaded service to lws without adding any
threading or locking code in the library.
At context creation time you can request split the service part of the
context into n service domains, which are load-balanced so that the most
idle one gets the next listen socket accept.
There's a single listen socket on one port still.
User code may then spawn n threads doing n service loops / poll()s
simultaneously. Locking is only required (I think) in the existing
FD lock callbacks already handled by the pthreads server example,
and that locking takes place in user code. So the library remains
completely agnostic about the threading / locking scheme.
And by default, it's completely compatible with one service thread
so no changes are required by people uninterested in multithreaded
service.
However for people interested in extremely lightweight mass http[s]/
ws[s] service with minimum provisioning, the library can now do
everything out of the box.
To test it, just try
$ libwebsockets-test-server-pthreads -j 8
where -j controls the number of service threads

Improvemed patches to address travis and appveyor build errors
Reduced WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT to 0x0501 to be less restrictive
Refined CMakeLists.txt to allow for normal Windows and MinGW-specific OpenSSL certificate generation
Simplified include path to gettimeofday.h
Removed unnecessary list(APPEND LWS_LIBRARIES zlib_internal) export
Added back #include <windows.h> to gettimeofday.c to fix build for normal Windows
Made sure that pollfd gets defined on libwebsockets side when _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0600
Made sure that WINVER and _WIN32_WINNT don't get overridden by libwebsockets headers when already set to something greater than 0x0501
Added missing declaration of WSAPoll function for WINVER < 0x0600 in libwebsockets.h, eliminated invalid usages of pollfd instead of libwebsocket_pollfd in test-server.c
Cleaned up duplicate content in gettimeofday.c, removed header inclusions from gettimeofday.h and fixed include order in test-echo.c, test-ping.c and test-server.c to enable build with normal Windows and MinGW
Re-enabled debug_level in test-echo.c and made sure that the call to lws_set_log_level() is also active under Windows (just like in test-server.c); replaced all WIN32 occurrences by _WIN32 in test-echo.c, test-ping.c, and test-server.c
Removed build-msys.sh and added new section about how to build libwebsockets using MinGW to README.build.md
This patch lets libwebsockets use the lastest version of wolfSSL (the new name for CyaSSL).
The reason for the patch is that allthough wolfSSL provides compatibility headers for (old) projects using CyaSSL,
these are incomplete and do not work for libwebsockets.
The patch also fixes a typo in CMakeLists.txt where CYASSL_LIBRARIES was added to include_directories() instead of CYASSL_INCLUDE_DIRS.
