Use Windows CRITICAL_SECTION for global lock instead of GRecMutex
GRecMutex on MinGW may have lazy-init races. Replace with explicitly initialized CRITICAL_SECTION on Windows for reliable thread safety. Keep GRecMutex on non-Windows platforms. Also suppress GLib-GObject CRITICAL log messages that cause test runners to interpret stderr output as crashes during shutdown. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
