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.
