libcaf_shmem doesn't currently build on Solaris.  Previously this went
unnoticed because the AX_PTHREADS autoconf macro erroneously didn't
detect pthreads support.  Once this is fixed, compilation fails:

The lock_t definition in <ia32/sys/machtypes.h> is benign: POSIX.1
reserves the _t suffix for the implementation.  At the very least the
code should use a properly prefixed type instead, which this patch does
by changing the code to use caf_shmem_lock_t instead.

Bootstrapped without regressions on i386-pc-solaris2.11,
sparc-sun-solaris2.11, and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

Ok for trunk?

This applies and tests OK for me on x86_64.

OK for trunk. Thanks

Jerry
