The synchronization access is unnecessary for rtc::Thread::WrapCurrent (called from JingleThreadWrapper) since JingleThreadWrapper never calls rtc::Thread::Stop or rtc::Thread::Join. Failing to get the access caused crashes in Chrome since rtc::Thread::Current will be NULL when rtc::Thread::WrapCurrent fails.
rtc::ThreadManager::WrapCurrentThread still requires the synchronization access, since I am not sure if the callers (e.g. the plugin) depends on it.

- Thread::Release() wrote a local variable on the calling thread but read it on
another thread, with no synchronization. Happily it has no non-test callers
so deleting it instead of trying to fix it (see bug for details).
- Thread::started_ similarly was racily being written to; replaced with a
running_ Event, and hid the accessor except for tests & legacy callers,
with a note about why it's a bad idea.
webrtc/base patched with:
git diff origin --relative=talk/base | patch -p1 -dwebrtc/base
followed by manual merge of 3 thunks that ran afoul of naming differences
between talk/base and webrtc/base.
