[AD] Win2k timer bug

[Bob <ohannessian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am using Win2k pro sp 1, Allegro 3.9.36 CVS (from 2 days ago).

shutdown_dialog would lock up on me when I'm using windowed mode (not in
full screen - just DX_WINDOWED). I traced it back to the Allegro timer
code, specifically at win/wtimer.c, line ~308,

    WaitForSingleObject(timer_int->thread, INFINITE);

Putting TRACE() around it confirms that this fuction never returns.

Possible fix: MSDN says:
"Windows NT/2000: The handle must have SYNCHRONIZE access."
