Add header files supporting gcc __sync_ primitives
Add a urcu/arch_gcc.h and urcu/uatomic_arch_gcc.h whose primitives are
based on the gcc __sync_ primitives. This should be usable for all
systems that have correctly implemented __sync_ primitives, which sadly
does not include all combinations of systems and compilers. In addition,
specific systems may gain higher performance with hand-coded primitives.
Nevertheless, this is nice for getting a new architecture up and running
quickly.
As suggested by Paolo Bonzini, defer the definition of mb() to the common
arch_generic.h file, and also defer the uatomic*() primitives to
uatomic_generic.h.
[Mathieu : fixed arch_gcc.h header which contained incorrect arch_unknown.h in
header.]

urcu: Add extra "engineering safety factor" memory barrier in update_counter_and_wait()
Even though the memory barriers within update_counter_and_wait() are proven not
to be needed in urcu-mb/signal/qsbr implementations, we leave them in place as
an engineering safety factor. Basically, we've proven they are not required
(formally for urcu-mb and urcu-signal by model checking, less formally for
urcu-qsbr by looking at the execution order of concurrent synchronize_rcu() and
RCU read-sides with out-of-order load/stores). However, given that on the
overall performance impact of synchronize_rcu(), these memory barriers do not
add a significant overhead, let's leave them in place with a comment stating
that they are not required.

urcu-qsbr: document compiler barrier
This compiler barrier is, at the implementation level, already provided by the
volatile accesses for STORE/LOAD_SHARED. However, given that these primitives
does not provide this guarantee at the high-level (and might use lighter gcc
primitives eventually), we need to add an explicit barrier().
