Fix race condition with BIO methods initialization in libpq with threads
The libpq code in charge of creating per-connection SSL objects was
prone to a race condition when loading the custom BIO methods needed by
my_SSL_set_fd(). As BIO methods are stored as a static variable, the
initialization of a connection could fail because it could be possible
to have one thread refer to my_bio_methods while it is being manipulated
by a second concurrent thread.
This error has been introduced by 8bb14cdd33de, that has removed
ssl_config_mutex around the call of my_SSL_set_fd(), that itself sets
the custom BIO methods used in libpq. Like previously, the BIO method
initialization is now protected by the existing ssl_config_mutex, itself
initialized earlier for WIN32.
While on it, document that my_bio_methods is protected by
ssl_config_mutex, as this can be easy to miss.
