Add explanation of condvar synchronization.

I believe documentation for how condvars work should be in nptl/DESIGN-condvar.txt (which exists, but is slightly out of date).

Putting it in DESIGN-condvar.txt is fine with me if everyone prefers that. However, I think it's better to put it closer to the source; that way, it's less easy to forget updating it.
So how about putting the additional documentation in DESIGN-condvar.txt with a reference back to it from the various C & assembly implementations?
