Comment (by teor):

 I spoke with nickm on IRC, and he agreed:
 * we will stop calling mutex destroy on static pthread mutexes
   * need to check the windows rules
 * we'll have to make sure asan and valgrind don't think it's a leak
 * we should leave a comment on the functions that still need to call mutex
 destroy, and the places where we remove the mutex destroys
