ntsync: Introduce alertable waits.
NT waits can optionally be made "alertable". This is a special channel for
thread wakeup that is mildly similar to SIGIO. A thread has an internal single
bit of "alerted" state, and if a thread is alerted while an alertable wait, the
wait will return a special value, consume the "alerted" state, and will not
consume any of its objects.
Alerts are implemented using events; the user-space NT emulator is expected to
create an internal ntsync event for each thread and pass that event to wait
functions.
