Introduce XVMC_LOCKDISPLAY_SAFE to solve deadlocks in certain xxmc implementations.
Some implementations are buggy and lock resources (for example the display or internal data structures) in different order, which results in deadlocks. As XVMC_LOCKDISPLAY_SAFE is not defined by default, most API functions will now be guarded by a LockDisplay()/UnlockDisplay() pair, which imposes a lock order at least for the resource display and hence avoids those deadlocks.
