Modified by Warren Young of Educational Technology Resources, Inc. from version in Beecrypt 4.1.2:

- minor style changes to make it fit within MySQL++
- changed init() to a ctor and destroy() to a dtor
- class just becomes a no-op if no supported mutex type is available
- throwing MutexFailed instead of `char*`
- moved all method implementations from inline in the .h file to a .cpp file so we don't have to make the header depend on config.h on autoconf-using systems
- made private mutex member a void* so we don't have to define the full type in the .h file, due to previous item
- added more Doxygen comments, and changed some existing comments
