[Implemented] Add support for Win32 critical sections

[Mistrel]

On Linux and OSX, POSIX mutexes act as critical sections, but on Windows they have additional kernel overhead as they can be shared between processes.

It would be nice if PureBasic could add support for the "critical section" idiom to wrap Win32 functionality and default back to mutexes on other OSs. I am currently using a #CompilerIf but it would be nice if this were abstracted away for me.

What is called a "Mutex" in PB is actually implemented on Windows using the CriticalSection APIs. We don't use the Windows kernel object called "Mutex".

Thanks Freak.

Thanks for the tip.
