Remove the dual-callback scheme for numeric and pointer thread IDs,
deprecate the original (numeric-only) scheme, and replace with the CRYPTO_THREADID object. This hides the platform-specifics and should reduce the possibility for programming errors (where failing to explicitly check both thread ID forms could create subtle, platform-specific bugs). Thanks to Bodo, for invaluable review and feedback.

Multi-threaded applications must provide two callback functions to
OpenSSL by calling CRYPTO_set_locking_callback() and
-CRYPTO_set_id_callback(). (For OpenSSL 0.9.9 or later, the new
-function CRYPTO_set_idptr_callback() may be used in place of
-CRYPTO_set_id_callback().) This is described in the threads(3)
+CRYPTO_set_id_callback(). This is described in the threads(3)
