Stop passing EVTHREAD_READ and EVTHREAD_WRITE to non-rw locks.
Previously, our default lock model kind of assumed that every lock was
potentially a read-write lock. This was a poor choice, since
read-write locks are far more expensive than regular locks, and so the
lock API should only use them when we can actually take advantage of
them. Neither our pthreads or win32 lock implementation provided rw
locks.
Now that we have a way (not currently used!) to indicate that we
really want a read-write lock, we shouldn't actually say "lock this
for reading" or "lock this for writing" unless we mean it.

Improved optional lock debugging.
There were a couple of places in the code where we manually kept lock
counts to make sure we never accessed resources without holding a
lock, and that we never released a lock we didn't have. The
lock-debugging code already puts counts on _every_ lock when lock
debugging is enabled, so there is no need to keep these counts around
otherwise. This patch rewrites the ASSERT_FOO_LOCKED macros to all
use a common EVLOCK_ASSERT_LOCKED().
We also teach the lock debugging code to keep track of who exactly
holds each lock, so that EVLOCK_ASSERT_LOCKED() means "locked by this
thread."

Revise the locking API: deprecate the old locking callbacks and add trylock.
Previously, there was no good way to request different kinds of lock
(say, read/write vs writeonly or recursive vs nonrecursive), or for a
lock function to signal failure (which would be important for a
trylock mode).
This patch revises the lock API to be a bit more useful. The older
lock calls are still supported for now.
We also add a debugging mode to catch common errors in using the
locking APIs.
