bff03a181f core: add a spsc ringbuffer implementation
Currently every single AO was implementing it's own ringbuffer, many times
with slightly different semantics. This is an attempt to fix the problem.

I stole some good ideas from ao_portaudio's ringbuffer and went from there.
The main difference is this one stores wpos and rpos which are absolute
positions in an "infinite" buffer. To find the actual position for writing /
reading just apply modulo size.

The producer only modifies wpos while the consumer only modifies rpos. This
makes it pretty easy to reason about and make the operations thread safe by
using barriers (thread safety is guaranteed only in the Single-Producer/Single-
Consumer case).

Also adapted ao_coreaudio to use this ringbuffer.
