library: refine support for multiple concurrent access

library: refine support for multiple concurrent access

Our new library's now well protected against potential
problems which arise when a multi-threaded application
opens more than one context within the same API at the
same time. However, with a single-threaded application
designed along those same lines, some problems remain.

So, to avoid potential corruption of some data (which
was classified as local 'static __thread') from those
single-threaded designs, we'll move several variables
to the info structure itself and remove the '__thread'
qualifier. Now they're protected against both designs.

[ we'll not be protected against some multi-threaded ]
[ application that shares a single context yet calls ]
[ that interface from separate threads. this is just ]
[ bad application design & no different than sharing ]
[ other modifiable global data between such threads! ]
