Always handle IPlugView::onSize() from UI thread

This requires a super hacky workaround because the UI thread can be
currently blocked by the plugin calling `IPlugFrame::resizeView()` from
the Win32 message loop.

// HACK: This ia bit of a weird one and requires special handling. A
// plugin will call this function from the Win32 message loop so
// the call blocks the loop. The host will then check with the
// plugin if it can actually resize itself to `*newSize`, and it
// will then call `IPlugView::onSize()` with the new size. The
// issue is that the `IPlugView::onSize()` call also has to be
// called from within the UI thread, but that thread is currently
// being blocked by the call to this function.
// As a workaround, we'll send the message for the call to
// `IPlugFrame::resizeView()` on another thread. We then wait for
// either that request to finish immediately (meaning the host
// hasn't resized the window), or for `IPlugView::onSize()` to be
// called by the host. If the host does call `IPlugView::onSize()`
// while the other thread is handling `IPlugFrame::resizeView()`,
// then we'll awaken this thread using a condition variable so we
// can do the actual call to `IPlugView::onSize()` from here, from
// within the Win32 loop.
