Christian Thaeter 07f06d0d88 big mutex update, dropped old acquirer
Acquiring mutexes is now wraped in a easy to use MUTEX_SECTION macro.
This scheme will be extended for chained lock propagation soon.

Notes:
 * NoBug resourcemanagement is now part of the lower layer,
   RESOURCE_ENTER/RESOUCE_LEAVE are maintained automatically
 * one must still call RESOURCE_ANNOUNCE/RESOURCE_FORGET, because we want
   to maintain high level information about resources.
 * MUTEX_SECTIONS must not be left with any kind of jump
