Fix GC allocation mutex in child after a fork
Even though after a fork the child only inherits the single thread
that called the fork(), if another thread in the parent was attempting
to lock the mutex while being held in fork_child_prepare(), the mutex
will be left in an inconsistent state in the child after the UNLOCK().
This is the case, at least, in Mac OS X and leads to an unusable GC in
the child which will block when attempting to perform any GC operation
that acquires the mutex.

held actually, and, then, re-initialize GC_allocate_ml; add comments.

Remove obsolete advice about linking with _DYNAMIC=0 (Linux)
Issue #196 (bdwgc).
The mentioned GCC option is not needed since gc-5.0alpha3 (when

Even more, the advice is problematic for Alpine Linux (and probably
other systems using musl) as building a program with gcc -static

and forcing the address to 0 causes a crash during GC initialization.
