Add elision to pthread_mutex_{try,timed,un}lock
Add elision paths to the basic mutex locks.

The normal path has a check for RTM and upgrades the lock
to RTM when available. Trylocks cannot automatically upgrade,
so they check for elision every time.

We use a 4 byte value in the mutex to store the lock
elision adaptation state. This is separate from the adaptive
spin state and uses a separate field.

Condition variables currently do not support elision.

Recursive mutexes and condition variables may be supported at some point,
but are not in the current implementation. Also "trylock" will
not automatically enable elision unless some other lock call
has been already called on the lock.

This version does not use IFUNC, so it means every lock has one
additional check for elision. Benchmarking showed the overhead
to be negligible.
