Buffers are not allocated and thread is not created until the first
call where voice is required.
Adds a different callback (sync_callback) to buflib so that other
sorts of synchonization are possible, such as briefly locking-out the
PCM callback for a buffer move. It's sort of a messy addition but it
is needed so voice decoding won't have to be stopped when its buffer
is moved.

* Enhance allocation function comments to better state the return value and what an invalid value is
* Change clients to check for "< 0" instead of "<= 0" or "== 0"
* Return -1 or -2 depending on the exact failure in buflib_alloc_ex.

The buflib memory allocator is handle based and can free and
compact, move or resize memory on demand. This allows to effeciently
allocate memory dynamically without an MMU, by avoiding fragmentation
through memory compaction.
This patch adds the buflib library to the core, along with
convinience wrappers to omit the context parameter. Compaction is
not yet enabled, but will be in a later patch. Therefore, this acts as a
replacement for buffer_alloc/buffer_get_buffer() with the benifit of a debug
menu.
See buflib.h for some API documentation.
