/* Manage the master lock around the OCaml run-time system.
Only one thread at a time can execute OCaml compiled code or
OCaml run-time system functions.
When OCaml calls a C function, the current thread holds the master
lock. The C function can release it by calling
[caml_release_runtime_system]. Then, another thread can execute OCaml
code. However, the calling thread must not access any OCaml data,
nor call any runtime system function, nor call back into OCaml.
Before returning to its OCaml caller, or accessing OCaml data,
or call runtime system functions, the current thread must
re-acquire the master lock by calling [caml_acquire_runtime_system].
Symmetrically, if a C function (not called from OCaml) wishes to
call back into OCaml code, it should invoke [caml_acquire_runtime_system]
first, then do the callback, then invoke [caml_release_runtime_system].
For historical reasons, alternate names can be used:
[caml_enter_blocking_section] instead of [caml_release_runtime_system]
[caml_leave_blocking_section] instead of [caml_acquire_runtime_system]
Intuition: a ``blocking section'' is a piece of C code that does not
use the runtime system (typically, a blocking I/O operation).

/* If a thread is created by C code (instead of by OCaml itself),
it must be registered with the OCaml runtime system before
being able to call back into OCaml code or use other runtime system
functions. Just call [caml_c_thread_register] once.
Before the thread finishes, it must call [caml_c_thread_unregister].
Both functions return 1 on success, 0 on error.
