PBD::Transmitter is neither thread-safe nor rt-safe. This likely
fixes a crash on macOS when process-threads are started.
Many threads simultaneously enter coreaudio_process_thread() and
log a message calling `PBD::info << .. << endmsg` simultaneously.
The backend holds `_port_callback_mutex` while disconnecting ports.
In some cases disconnecting a port can drop the last reference
resulting in a port-deletion from the connection handler.
This in turn will eventually aquire the `_port_callback_mutex`
and deadlock.
This is now circumvented by using atomic operations instead of
taking a lock to set the `_port_change_flag`.
The flag is also used to trigger a latency update in some cases,
atomic is preferable to taking a lock to set this flag.

This allow to restore original engine port-names as set
by the backend. ALSA MIDI, CoreAudio, CoreMIDI and PortAudio
drivers can provide human readable physical port names for
some devices.
Previously this was inherited via PBD.
On MacOS/X, this adds
"-undefined dynamic_lookup -flat_namespace"
and various "-framework .." options to linkflags
Without this flag, .dylibs fail to link usually because
of missing `-lintl` (Undefined symbols: "_libintl_dgettext")
On other systems this is a NO-OP:
CFLAGS_OSX, CXXFLAGS_OSX and LINKFLAGS_OSX
are only set on the darwin platform.
This produces synchronous events on Audio and MIDI ports.
One rvent per second, exactly at every second since engine-start.
MIDI: C-4 Note-on/off (1 sample long)
Audio: +1/-1 transition:
+1 in sync with Note-on,
-1 in sync with Note-off
* PortEngine::available() implementation
* AudioEngine::connected() wrapper
Eventually we may re-introduce PortEngine::available along
with a libardour internal port-engine.
