Title: Audit usage of NativeMutex

Once a native mutex has been used once, it is never allowed to be moved again.
This is because some pthreads implementations take pointers inside the mutex
itself.

This commit adds stern wording around the methods on native mutexes, and fixes
one use case in the codebase. The Mutex type in libsync was susceptible to
movement, so the inner static mutex is now boxed to ensure that the address of
the native mutex is constant.
