perl.h: Convert reentrant locks to allow many readers
This is in preparation for future use of these.
The only current mutex that is reentrant is the one for locales.
This simply changes the reentrant locks from using the single reader
locks to using the multiple reader locks.

Log Message:
-----------
Avoid deadlock if request a read lock while holding a write one
In a reentrant mutex, the previous commit added the ability to have
multiple readers. But if a thread already owns a mutex for writing, and
requests a read lock as well, prior to this commit the thread will be
deadlocked by itself.
Avoid this by testing for the condition and handling separately.
All reentrant mutexes currently have no read lock attempts. So this
case is entirely theoretical for the moment.
