Define a new type "struct cshared". This can be used as a tool to
manipulate a global counter with thread-safety ensured. Each thread
would declare its thread-local cshared type, which would point to a
global counter.
Each thread can then add/substract value to their owned thread-local
cshared instance via cshared_add(). If the difference exceed a
configured limit, either positively or negatively, the global counter is
updated and thread-local instance is reset to 0. Each thread can safely
read the global counter value using cshared_read().
