### Description

The platform independent function `httplib_pthread_mutex_destroy()` destroys a mutex and frees the allocated resources. The function returns **0** if this is successful, or an error code if it fails. If a mutex is locked by another thread the function will return with an error code. On systems which support it, this function is implemented as a wrapper around `pthread_mutex_destroy()`. On other systems own code is used to emulate the same functionality.
