This should hopefully cover most I/O operations that go through libuv (meaning that other operations like using IOStream files aren't part of this PR), to make them thread-safe.

The UDPSocket implementation of many things has been always wrong, this also fixes them.

Does this make function such as uv_os_homedir which libuv states are not thread safe, thread-safe in Julia?

I wouldn't rely too closely on the libuv docs 😜. I think that warning seems to have gotten fixed before the PR was merged. I'm not sure why the message got left in. Perhaps you'd like to delete it for them?

This should hopefully cover most I/O operations which go through libuv to make them thread-safe.

There is no scaling here, just one big global lock, so expect
worse-than-single-threaded performance if doing I/O on multiple threads (as
compared to doing the same work on one thread). The intention is to handle
performance improvement incrementally later.

It also necessarily redesigns parts of the UDPSocket implementation
to properly handle concurrent (single-threaded) usage, as a necessary
part of making it handle parallel (thread-safe) usage.

After #32309, we became much more eager to forget about normal errors
and more eager to throw an EOFError at the wrong place.
This is intended to fix that oversight.

It is noted as a non-OS stream, but has also been a subtype
of LibuvStream since forever. #32309 did not add the `readerror`
field.
