1.0.25.29: thread state visibility and synchronization

C does not guarantee that changes made to a volatile variable in one
thread are visibile to other threads. Use locking primitives (that
have memory barrier semantics) for that purpose.

Thus, all_threads need not be volatile: it's always accessed while
holding all_threads_lock. Thread state does not need volatile either,
as signal a handlers don't change it (save for sig_stop_for_gc_handler
but that sets it restores its value). But visibility issues can arise
and potentially deadlock in stop_the_world, so the thread state is
given a lock. And to reduce busy looping while waiting for the state
to change to STATE_SUSPENDED a condition variable is added as well.

Also convert sig_stop_for_gc_handler to use
wait_for_thread_state_change which frees up SIG_RESUME_FROM_GC. I
think this also guarantees that the changes made by the gc are visible
in other threads on non x86 platforms (on x86 it's already the case).

With these changes threads.impure.lisp runs 10% a faster in real time.

1.0.23.62: fix bug 357

 Originally reported by Bruno Haible, more recently by Stephen Wilson.

 * SHARED-INITIALIZE (SLOT-OBJECT) should not check structure slots
   versus +SLOT-UNBOUND+: uninitialized slots are zeroed. Since adding
   slots to structure classes cannot cause those slots to be added to
   structure instances, we don't really have to check for boundness at
   all.

 * SB-PCL::STRUCTURE-TYPE-SLOT-DESCRIPTION-LIST and
   SB-PCL::MAKE-STRUCTURE-CLASS-DEFSTRUCT-FORM did not take overridden
   slot specifications into account, and the latter also omitted
   initform and type information.

 * Delete SB-PCL::ALLOCATE-STRUCTURE-INSTANCE, unused.

 * ALLOCATE-INSTANCE (STRUCTURE-OBJECT) should not fall back on
   ALLOCATE-STANDARD-INSTANCE.

1.0.23.57: rewrite bug 217

 * Case A is a non-issue. SBCL interprets "unpredictable but harmless"
   to mean "anything, but heap will no be corrupted, data lost, etc"
   -- that is, an error may or may not be signalled, but it the lisp
   session will remain sane and operable.

 * Case B is negated by the portability argument: since specifying both
   is unspecified, we should not build useful-seeming extensions on top
   of it, as it will only create portability problems for users.

 * Case C remains partially valid, except for the runtime WARNINGs.
