This is an implementation of pthread barriers pursuant to the relevant specification.
Barriers are essentially a special case of conditional variables,
such that all threads waiting on one are woken up when the number of
waiters reaches a number provided at the initialization of the barrier.
In view of that, this implementation mimics the implementation of pthread_cond,
except it is more specialized and self-contained.
