Implementation of MutexTryLock for all supported platforms.

This new API method allows a TryLock concept to be applied to a Mutex.. This will attempt to lock the mutex, and if someone else has it locked will return SDL_MUTEX_TIMEDOUT to let the caller know that it's locked elsewhere.

I have included implementations for generic, nds, windows, and pthread. (seems to be all of the implementations I needed to implement)

Ok I forgot to add a #include <errno.h>.. So it's added and this now works on OSX/Linux

Reworked patch with different naming.

This patch renamed the method to SDL_TryLockMutex to be consistent with the current mutex method names. and combines the two patches into one.
