    Remove risk of lockup in dictionary initialization
    
    Reported by Petr Sumbera <petr.sumbera@oracle.com>
    Two threads entering xmlInitializeDict concurently could lead
    to a lockup due to multiple initializations of the lock used.
    To avoid this problem move this to a new private function
    called from xmlOnceInit() and deprecate the old initalizer.
    Since threaded programs must call xmlInitParser() and this
    will lead to dereference of private data and the call to
    xmlOnceInit() guaranteed to be unique this should be safe now.

    To build on an Unixised setup:
       ./configure ; make ; make install
    To build on Windows:
       see instructions on win32/Readme.txt
    
    To assert build quality:
       on an Unixised setup:
          run make tests
       otherwise:
           There is 3 standalone tools runtest.c runsuite.c testapi.c, which
           should compile as part of the build or as any application would.
           Launch them from this directory to get results, runtest checks 
           the proper functionning of libxml2 main APIs while testapi does
           a full coverage check. Report failures to the list.
