log: Make sure glib threading is initialized
While testing spice-server on EL6, I was getting random crashes in the glib logging code because g_logv was called recursively even though this was not visible in a backtrace. It turns out on older glib versions (EL6 has 2.28), g_logv is not thread-safe unless g_thread_init() is called first. If g_thread_init() is not called, the GMutex/GPrivate calls g_logv makes are turned into no-ops, which is going to cause the recursion issue I was seeing. This commit adds a call to g_thread_init() for these older glib versions.
