client API: create core thread at an earlier time
Create the core thread right in mpv_create(), and reduce what mpv_initialize() does further. This is simpler, and allows the API user to do more before calling mpv_initialize(). The latter is not the real goal, rather we'd like mpv_intialize() reduced to do almost nothing. It still does a lot, but nothing truly special anymore that is absolutely required for basic mpv workings. One thing we want the user to be able to do is changing properties before mpv_initialize() to reduce the special status of mpv_set_option().
