Acquiring the Clutter lock to mark critical sections is not portable,
and not recommended to implement threaded applications with Clutter.
The recommended pattern is to use worker threads, and schedule UI
updates inside idle or timeout handlers within the main loop. We should
enforce this pattern by deprecating the threads_enter()/leave()
functions. For compatibility concerns, we need internal API to acquire
the main lock during frame processing dispatch.

Implementation of event loop which works with GLib events, native OS X
events and Clutter events.
The event loop source code comes from the equivalent code in the Quartz
GDK backend from GTK+ 2.22.1, which is LGPL v2.1+ and thus compatible
with Clutter's licensing terms.
The code has been tested with libsoup, which did not work before together
with Clutter.
