    qemu-thread-win32: cleanup, fix, document QemuEvent

    QemuEvent is currently broken on ARM due to missing memory barriers
    after qatomic_*().  Apart from adding the memory barrier, a closer look
    reveals some unpaired memory barriers that are not really needed and
    complicated the functions unnecessarily.  Also, it is relying on
    a memory barrier in ResetEvent(); the barrier _ought_ to be there
    but there is really no documentation about it, so make it explicit.
