[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] Avoid MinGW/Windows dependency on gcc thread library.

Multi-threading support requires knowing the number of CPUs available.
When building with MinGW on a Windows system, both Windows and gcc run
time functions are available to get this information.  If available,
the Windows function should be used, not the gcc function.  This avoids
creating an unnecessary dependency on the gcc thread library.
