PROTON-1344: C proactor for multi-threaded proton applications

proactor.h is an asynchronous, multi-threaded replacement for reactor.h

It uses the same Proton engine APIs and events, but allows multiple application
threads wait for events to handle, rather than calling back on handler functions
from a single thread.

The proactor ensures that events for the same AMQP connection are handled in
sequence (although possibly by different threads at different times) so event
handling code does not need to lock the use of thread-unsafe proton APIs. It
provides a "wake" feature to signal connections for processing triggered by the
application rather than proton IO.

Examples show C sender, receiver and broker, and a libuv driver implementation.
