pthread-w32 does not support pthread_setschedparam() with
SCHED_FIFO and bails out. While pthread_create() simply ignores the policy
and sets the priority regadless.
This only affects ctrl-surface event-loops & AutomationWatch on Windows.
This issue is not always reproducible but when it does occur it happens
somewhat consistently on both 32bit and 64bit builds(Tested on Windows 7).
The midiOutReset call does not return (or it takes so long that it might as
well be indefinite) and as it is not strictly necessary just remove it.

Add functions for get/set the Multimedia timer resolution, although we are
really only interested in the minimum, this will facilitate testing
Put timer utility functions inside nested namespaces as they are platform
specific
