Delphi compiles to Linux

[pony5551]

It is recommended to remove InitCriticalSection and DoneCriticalSection

Changing compat. pas allows Delphi to support Linux!

Linux is supported for Free Pascal. I did not intend to provide Linux support for Delphi (mostly to avoid trouble with ARC which is apparently going to be deprecated anyway).
Feel free to send a PR, it will be welcome.

Excuse me, what is the ARC problem? Is it the ARC on the interface? What exactly is the problem?

[tondrej]

It's a different memory management model. I'm not keen on writing code supporting both ARC and the classical one.

Thanks, I don't usually use FPC much!
