Subject: [PATCH] avdevice/decklink: Removed pthread dependency

Purpose: avdevice/decklink: Removed pthread dependency by
 replacing semaphore used in code appropriately.  Doing so makes it easier to
  build ffmpeg using Visual C++ on Windows.  This is a contination of Kyle
 Schwarz's "avdevice/decklink: Remove pthread dependency" patch that is
 available at https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/patch/2654/ .  This patch wasn't
 accepted, and as far as I can tell, there was no follow-up after it was
 rejected.

Notes: Used Visual Studio 2015 (with update 3) for this.

Comments:

-- configure: Eliminated pthreads dependency for decklink_indev_deps
   and decklink_outdev_deps

-- libavdevice/decklink_common.cpp / .h:
a) Eliminated semaphore and replaced with a combination of a mutex,
   condition variable, and a counter (frames_buffer_available_spots).
b) Removed include of pthread.h and semaphore.h and now using
   libavutil/thread.h instead.

-- libavdevice/decklink_dec.cpp: Eliminated include of pthread.h and
   semaphore.h.

-- libavdevice/decklink_enc.cpp:
a) Eliminated include of pthread.h and semaphore.h.
b) Replaced use of semaphore with the equivalent using a combination
   of a mutex, condition variable, and a counter
   (frames_buffer_available_spots).  In theory, libavutil/thread.h and
   the associated code could have been modified instead to add
   cross-platform implementations of the sem_ functions, but an
   inspection of the ffmpeg source base indicates that there are only
   two cases in which semaphores are used (including this one that was
   replaced), so it was deemed to not be worth the effort.
