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

Some of the FreeBSD-specific code in libwebsockets is related to
the FreeBSD kernel, not the general build environment. Thus, it is
important to make this distinction, especially when building on
platforms that have a FreeBSD kernel and a non-FreeBSD userland build
environment, such as Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.
When checking for FreeBSD kernel features, also check for the newly
introduced __FreeBSD_kernel__ preprocessor constant; it is present in
the GNU/kFreeBSD kernel and also in FreeBSD itself since the 9.1 release
about three years ago.
- Mainly symbol length reduction
- Whitespace clean
- Code refactor for linear flow
- Audit @Context for API docs vs changes

Since struct lws (wsi) now has his own context pointer,
we were able to remove the need for passing context
almost everywhere in the apis.
In turn, that means there's no real use for context being
passed to every callback; in the rare cases context is
needed user code can get it with lws_get_ctx(wsi)

Extend the cleanout caused by wsi having a context pointer
into the public api.
There's no point keeping the 1.5 compatibility work,
we have changed the api in several places and
rebuilt wasn't going to be enough a while ago.

Now we bit the bullet and gave each wsi an lws_context *, many
internal apis that take both a context and wsi parameter only
need the wsi.
Also simplify parser code by making a temp var for
allocated_headers * instead of the longwinded
dereference chain everywhere.

Having the lws_context alone doesn't let us track state or act different
by wsi, which is the most interesting usecase. Eg not only simply track
file position / decompression state per wsi but also act differently
according to wsi authentication state / associated cookies.

This is a rewrite of the patch from Soapyman here
https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/pull/363
The main changes compared to Soapyman's original patch are
- There's no new stuff in the info struct user code does any overrides
it may want to do explicitly after lws_context_create returns
- User overrides for file ops can call through (subclass) to the original
platform implementation using lws_get_fops_plat()
- A typedef is provided for plat-specific fd type
- Public helpers are provided to allow user code to be platform-independent
about file access, using the lws platform file operations underneath:
static inline lws_filefd_type
lws_plat_file_open(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, const char *filename,
unsigned long *filelen, int flags)
static inline int
lws_plat_file_close(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd)
static inline unsigned long
lws_plat_file_seek_cur(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd,
long offset_from_cur_pos)
static inline int
lws_plat_file_read(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd,
unsigned long *amount, unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
static inline int
lws_plat_file_write(struct lws_plat_file_ops *fops, lws_filefd_type fd,
unsigned long *amount, unsigned char *buf, unsigned long len)
There's example documentation and implementation in the test server.

This nukes all the oldstyle prefixes except in the compatibility code.
struct libwebsockets becomes struct lws too.
The api docs are updated accordingly as are the READMEs that mention
those apis.

Change all internal uses of rationalized public apis to reflect the
new names.
Theer are a few things that got changed as side effect of search/replace
matches, but these are almost all internal. I added a compatibility define
for the public enum that got renamed.
Theoretically existing code should not notice the difference from these
two patches. And new code will find the new names.

- Got rid of ifdef _WIN32 stuff adn moved to plat_ files instead.
- Also, check all calls to lws_zalloc, was potential failure on WIN32
- Made context destory enable to destroy a half inited context as well. This way I got get rid of some of the error handling complexity in libwebsocket_create_context
- Added TODOs for some potential problems I see where things might be leaking and such
Maybe it will be better to move all lws_libev_io() inside
lws_change_pollfd() to avoid similar problems in future.
The same for lws_libev_accept() and insert_wsi_socket_into_fds().
This gets rid of all the platform-dependent #ifdef stuff and
migrates it into the new lws-plat-xxx.c files.
These are then included in a one-time test in libwebsockets.c
according basically to Windows or not.
The idea is from now on, all Windows-specific code should go in
lws-plat-win.c, where any kind of Windows perversion like DWORD
is fine.
Any new functions going in there should be named lws_plat_...
and be defined in all the lws-plat-xxx.c file (currently just
win32 and unix platforms are supported).
