Fixes#135897 by introducing a mixing thread to coreaudio, making the callback lock free. At the same time these changes unify all devices that use a mixing thread (now that's jack, pulse, pipewire and coreaudio).

Removes the playback handle from the synchronizer API and integrates it
into the device, removing the ISynchronizer interface completely.
This has been discussed in more detail in #126047 and its main purpose is to unify the handling of synchronizer events, especially seek which needed different logic for jack vs other backends.
OpenAL now needs a silence playback handle for synchronization but all
other backends are pretty straightforward just counting the mixed
samples in the SoftwareDevice with some specializations for specific
backends that had their own synchronizers before.
Note: CoreAudio changes are untested as I don't have a Mac.

After 91eb50ec2f, we would get random crashes/asserts from the pulseaudio library like:
`Assertion 'e->mainloop->n_enabled_defer_events > 0' failed at ../pulseaudio-17.0/src/pulse/mainloop.c:261, function mainloop_defer_enable(). Aborting.`
It seems like we would run into a race condition if we didn't guard the
pulseaudio flush command with the pulseaudio mutex.
This is probably because the pulseaudio thread would try to read the
buffer for a tiny bit even after pausing the playback.
Sadly the only way to reproduce this is to playback any scene (seem to happen more often if A/V sync is on) and spam play/pause.
Note that I could not reproduce this on every computer I tested this on.
But by expanding the main pulseaudio mutex lock, I can't seem to reproduce this anymore.
So I think that is the correct solution.
