use the pthread API in notify.c

This patch rewrites notify.c to use the pthread API, namely
pthread_mutex and pthread_cond.  This is a lot cheaper and easier than
the pipe() hack.

- * As soon as mpd uses threading instead of fork()/shm, we can replace
- * this library with a pthread_cond object.
- *
- * This code is experimental and carries a lot of overhead.  Still, it
- * uses less resources than the old polling code with a fixed sleep
- * time.
