Clean-up: Remove pthread and mutex locking code

This code was not activated at all, and hard coded as disabled in syshead.h
with this code snippet:

   /*
    * Pthread support is currently experimental (and quite unfinished).
    */
   #if 1 /* JYFIXME -- if defined, disable pthread */
   #undef USE_PTHREAD
   #endif

So no matter if --enable-pthread when running ./configure or not, this feature
was never enabled in reality.  Further, by removing the blocker code above made
OpenVPN uncompilable in the current state.

As the threading part needs to be completely rewritten and pthreading will not be
supported in OpenVPN 2.x, removing this code seems most reasonable.

In addition, a lot of mutex locking code was also removed, as they were practically
NOP functions, due to pthreading being forcefully disabled

-dnl @synopsis ACX_PTHREAD([ACTION-IF-FOUND[, ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND]])
-dnl
-dnl This macro figures out how to build C programs using POSIX
-dnl threads.  It sets the PTHREAD_LIBS output variable to the threads
-dnl library and linker flags, and the PTHREAD_CFLAGS output variable
-dnl to any special C compiler flags that are needed.  (The user can also
-dnl force certain compiler flags/libs to be tested by setting these
-dnl environment variables.)
-dnl
-dnl Also sets PTHREAD_CC to any special C compiler that is needed for
-dnl multi-threaded programs (defaults to the value of CC otherwise).
-dnl (This is necessary on AIX to use the special cc_r compiler alias.)
-dnl
-dnl If you are only building threads programs, you may wish to
-dnl use these variables in your default LIBS, CFLAGS, and CC:
-dnl
-dnl        LIBS="$PTHREAD_LIBS $LIBS"
-dnl        CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $PTHREAD_CFLAGS"
-dnl        CC="$PTHREAD_CC"
-dnl
-dnl In addition, if the PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE thread-attribute
-dnl constant has a nonstandard name, defines PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE
-dnl to that name (e.g. PTHREAD_CREATE_UNDETACHED on AIX).
-dnl
-dnl ACTION-IF-FOUND is a list of shell commands to run if a threads
-dnl library is found, and ACTION-IF-NOT-FOUND is a list of commands
-dnl to run it if it is not found.  If ACTION-IF-FOUND is not specified,
-dnl the default action will define HAVE_PTHREAD.
-dnl
-dnl Please let the authors know if this macro fails on any platform,
-dnl or if you have any other suggestions or comments.  This macro was
-dnl based on work by SGJ on autoconf scripts for FFTW (www.fftw.org)
-dnl (with help from M. Frigo), as well as ac_pthread and hb_pthread
-dnl macros posted by AFC to the autoconf macro repository.  We are also
-dnl grateful for the helpful feedback of numerous users.
