SH-2031 Disable usage of glMapBuffer (again).  Despite using MapBufferRange, this is still a source of frame stalls.

SH-2031 Followup to curl threading work -- don't start and stop the thread on every request, use a signal (cuts time spent in Pump IO down from 1-2 ms to 0.1ms)

Added a function for parsing a date string of specific format.
Added strings defining the date format in Group Profile Land/Assets that should be localized.

Instead of low-level open(O_CREAT | O_EXCL) loop on all platforms, use
GetTempFileName() on Windows and mkstemp() elsewhere.
Don't append a final newline to NamedTempFile: use caller's data literally.
Tweak a couple comments.
