As documented in webrtc:11908 this cleanup is fairly invasive and
when a part of a frequently executed code path, can be quite costly
in terms of performance overhead. This is currently the case with
synchronous calls between threads (Thread) as well with our proxy
api classes.
With this CL, all code in WebRTC should now either be using MessageHandlerAutoCleanup
or calling MessageHandler(false) explicitly.
Next steps will be to update external code to either depend on the
AutoCleanup variant, or call MessageHandler(false).
Changing the proxy classes to use TaskQueue set of concepts instead of
MessageHandler. This avoids the perf overhead related to the cleanup
above as well as incompatibility with the thread policy checks in
Thread that some current external users of the proxies would otherwise
run into (if we were to use Thread::Send() for synchronous call).
Following this we'll move the cleanup step into the AutoCleanup class
and an RTC_DCHECK that all calls to the MessageHandler are setting
the flag to false, before eventually removing the flag and make
MessageHandler pure virtual.

This change introduces a new non-reentrant mutex to WebRTC. It
enables eventual migration to Abseil's mutex.
The mutex types supportable by webrtc::Mutex are
- absl::Mutex
- CriticalSection (Windows only)
- pthread_mutex (POSIX only)
In addition to introducing the mutexes, the CL also changes
PacketBuffer to use the new mutex instead of rtc::CriticalSection.
The method of yielding from critical_section.cc was given a
mini-cleanup and YieldCurrentThread() was added to
rtc_base/synchronization/yield.h/cc.
Additionally, google_benchmark benchmarks for the mutexes were added
(test courtesy of danilchap@), and some results from a pthread/Abseil
shootout were added showing Abseil has the advantage in higher
contention.
