This replaces SDL threads with real cooperative threads, which are less cpu intensive and allow priority scheduling.
The backend for context switching is dependant on the host (sigaltstack/longjmp on Unix, Fibers on Windows).
configure has options to force or disallow SDL threads.

First, it add the ability to tagcache to walk through multiple search roots.
Second, it adds symlinks targets to the search roots if they're are not inside any of the current search roots, otherwise the symlink is ignored (unless it's a file).
The default search root is still /, so no search root will be actually added.
But the tagcache now isn't trapped by recursive symlinks anymore and successfully builds, and it's prepared for a future music directory setting.

For this it needs to look at the plugin header. Since lc_open() doesn't know
it's a plugin, the header needs to be changed slightly to include the new lc_header (which needs to be the first element in plugin_header so it can be casted savely).

Use host's functions for file i/o directly (open(), close() ,etc.), not the sim_* variants.
Some dir functions need to be wrapped still because we need to cache the parents dir's path (host's dirent doesn't let us know).
For the same reason (incompatibility) with host's dirent) detach some members from Rockbox' dirent struct and put it into an extra one,
the values can be retrieved via the new dir_get_info().
Get rid of the sim_ prefix for sleep as well and change the signature to unix sleep().

Removes the need to fix up those in the simulator.
Also work around some posix-mingw incompatibilities (e.g. getcwd()).

It's a used by codec/plugin loading and vastly reduces code duplication. It's also a step forward in getting rid of libuisimulator in the application ports.
Apparently sh needs linker symbols prefixed with _ even if they're referenced without from C code.

I don't understand the build error at all, plugin_bss_start is clearly defined in plugin.lds

General state is: Rockbox is usable (plays music, saves configuration, touchscreen works too).
Problems:
- Playing music in the background (i.e. when switching to another app) doesn't work reliably, but I'm working on that now.
- no cabbiev2 (only some preliminary files for it), no other default theme.
- screen flickers sometimes if the updates are too frequent
- no multi screen apk/package
- strange behavior when a phone call comes in
The java files (and the eclipse project) resides in android/, which is also supposed to be the build folder.
I've put a small README in there for instructions. There are some steps needed after the make part, which are described there,
and which eclipse mostly handles. But there ought to be some script/makefile rules which do that instead in the future.

For RaaA it evaluates user paths at runtime. For everything but codecs/plugins it will give the path under $HOME/.config/rockbox.org if write access is needed or if the file/folder in question exists there (otherwise it gives /usr/local/share/rockbox).
This allows for installing themes under $HOME as well as having config.cfg and other important files there while installing the application (and default themes) under /usr/local.
On the DAPs it's a no-op, returing /.rockbox directly.
Not converted to use get_user_file_path() are plugins themselves, because RaaA doesn't build plugins yet.

- Refactor the program startup. main() is now in main.c like on target, and the implicit application thread will now act as our main thread (previously a separate one was created for this in thread initialization).
This is part of Rockbox as an application and is the first step to make an application port from the uisimulator. In a further step the sim bits from the sdl build will be separated out.
