* Draw antialised waveform if waveform is monotonic
* Fix center-line position (span at most height - 1),
* Remove invalid "side-lines" that were previously
drawn around spikes.
* Do not linearly center min/max when drawing log-scale
* Fix offset of lower outline and clip indicators
The previous design had a race condition. When WaveViewThreads::stop_threads() was called, it would
first acquire the mutex, then set _quit, then call condition.broadcast(). But worker threads would
check _quit without holding the mutex. It was therefore for a thread to be delayed in its
own lock acquisition by the ::stop_threads() caller, then end up back in cond.wait() AFTER
the cond.broadcast() was done. Such a thread would sleep forever and never wake up.
This new design removes WaveViewDrawRequestQueue, which was a clean encapsulation of the
queueing aspects of WaveViewThreads, but unfortunately made correct mutex acquisition
and condition signalling/waiting needlessly complex. THe mutex, condition variable
and actual queue were moved into WaveViewThreads, and all worker threads execute a method
of the class which gives the appropriate code easy access to the mutex and condition var,
which must always be used together.
"While 'atomic' has a volatile qualifier, this is a historical
artifact and the pointer passed to it should not be volatile."
Furthermore "It is very important that all accesses to a
particular integer or pointer be performed using only this API"
(from https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.68/glib-Atomic-Operations.html)
Hence initialization of atomic variables is changed to also use
this API, instead of directly initializing the value.
This also fixes a few cases where atomic variables were
accessed directly.

Those are blank to begin with, nothing is drawn, yet they'd still be
cached.
This may happen during an initial exposure (see 1a49d7d42b),
or when deleting regions.
To mitigate concurrent rendering, the waveform cache adds a random
range of pixels centered around the visible waveform.
Alignment is using integer half_width = width_samples / 2;
This always aligns the left-edge to the left-most cairo-pixel.
This fixes an issue with moving moiree patterns in waveforms when
zooming vertically (which invalidates the cache and uses a
different random number of pixels),
