Details

The new NSPR IPC functions (shared memory and interprocess
semaphores) need to be ported to Neutrino.

We need to find out whether Neutrino supports the POSIX or
SysV variant of IPC and define the appropriate macros in
pr/include/md/_nto.h.  POSIX IPC is preferrable to SysV IPC,
if both are supported.  Also, it is required that PR_WaitSemaphore
only blocks the calling thread.  This means we need to use
native threads (e.g., pthreads) and verify that if a native
thread calls a blocking semaphore-wait function (e.g., sem_wait
in the POSIX API), only the calling thread is blocked.
