semaphore: Add DEFINE_SEMAPHORE
The full cleanup of init_MUTEX[_LOCKED] and DECLARE_MUTEX has not been
done. Some of the users are real semaphores and we should name them as
such instead of confusing everyone with "MUTEX".
Provide the infrastructure to get finally rid of init_MUTEX[_LOCKED]
and DECLARE_MUTEX.
