The major parts of the new lock API are complete, AFAICT. Move the less

critical (or perhaps not implementable) pieces down to non-showstopper
status.

Left a note that we must not make a release of APR with both lock
APIs, or we may have to support both lock APIs forever, which would
be unfortunate.

Also, it appears that Beos' apr_thread_cond now works, thanks to David.
