Windows: Avoid race during cm_FreeServerList
cm_FreeServerList obtains cm_serverLock exclusively and in some
circumstances will call cm_FreeServer(). cm_FreeServer() will
drop the cm_serverLock if the cm_server_t.refCount is zero in order to
avoid a lock order violation when calling cm_GCConnections() since
cm_connLock is higher in the lock hierarchy.
The call to cm_FreeServer is performed after the cm_serverRef_t
to be deleted is identified but before it is removed from the list.
There is the potential for two threads calling cm_FreeServerList()
to race and for more than one thread to attempt to delete the same
cm_serverRef_t twice.
Fix this by:
1. maintain a private copy of the cm_server_t pointer, delete the
cm_serverRef_t and update the list pointers before calling cm_FreeServer().
2. obtain and release a refcnt on the next cm_serverRef_t to ensure
that it is not deleted out from underneath the thread in case the
cm_serverLock is dropped.
