The file descriptors passed to InputThreadFillPipe are always
blocking, so there's no need to use Select (or poll).

The list of input devices may be changed by hotplugging while the
server is active, and those changes may come from either the main
thread or the input thread. That means the list of input devices needs
to be protected by a mutex.
This prevents input drivers from receiving I/O ready callbacks after
removing a device.

input_force_unlock was mis-using input_mutex_lock and leaving it set
to -1. As this is executed from OsInit at each server generation, on
the second time through, the mutex would be left locked (!) due to the
trylock call. This caused input to fail after the first server reset.

The current SIGIO signal handler method, used at generation of input events,
has a bunch of oddities. This patch introduces an alternative way using a
thread, which is used to select() all input device file descriptors.
A mutex was used to control the access to input structures by the main and input
threads. Two pipes to emit alert events (such hotplug ones) and guarantee the
proper communication between them was also used.

v2: Fix non-Xorg link. Enable where supported by default.
This also splits out the actual enabling of input threads to
DDX-specific patches which follow
v3: Make the input lock recursive
v4: Use regular RECURSIVE_MUTEXes instead of rolling our own
Respect the --disable-input-thread configuration option by
providing stubs that expose the same API/ABI.
Respond to style comments from Peter Hutterer.
v5: use __func__ in inputthread debug and error mesages.

v6: use AX_PTHREAD instead of inlining pthread tests.
