9efa8b3571 unix, windows: rework reference counting scheme
This commit changes how the event loop determines if it needs to stay alive.

Previously, an internal counter was increased whenever a handle got created
and decreased again when the handle was closed.

While conceptually simple, it turned out hard to work with: you often want
to keep the event loop alive only if the handle is actually doing something.
Stopped or inactive handles were a frequent source of hanging event loops.

That's why this commit changes the reference counting scheme to a model where
a handle only references the event loop when it's active. 'Active' means
different things for different handle types, e.g.:

 * timers: ticking
 * sockets: reading, writing or listening
 * processes: always active (for now, subject to change)
 * idle, check, prepare: only active when started

This commit also changes how the uv_ref() and uv_unref() functions work: they
now operate on the level of individual handles, not the whole event loop.

The Windows implementation was done by Bert Belder.

1fc1f28093 Wrap platform mutex and rwlock APIs.
Read/write locks are emulated with critical sections on Windows XP and Vista
because those platforms don't have a (complete) native read/write lock API.
