add a header file for atomic operations

We're already using them in several places, but __sync builtins are just
too ugly to type, and do not provide seqcst load/store operations.

exec: do not use qemu/tls.h

The next patch will change qemu/tls.h to support more platforms, but at
some performance cost.  Declare cpu_single_env directly instead of using
the tls.h abstractions.

qemu-thread: add QemuEvent

This emulates Win32 manual-reset events using futexes or conditional
variables.  Typical ways to use them are with multi-producer,
single-consumer data structures, to test for a complex condition whose
elements come from different threads:

    for (;;) {
        qemu_event_reset(ev);
        ... test complex condition ...
        if (condition is true) {
            break;
        }
        qemu_event_wait(ev);
    }

Or more efficiently (but with some duplication):

    ... evaluate condition ...
    while (!condition) {
        qemu_event_reset(ev);
        ... evaluate condition ...
        if (!condition) {
            qemu_event_wait(ev);
            ... evaluate condition ...
        }
    }

QemuEvent provides a very fast userspace path in the common case when
no other thread is waiting, or the event is not changing state.  It
is used to report RCU quiescent states to the thread calling
synchronize_rcu (the latter being the single consumer), and to report
call_rcu invocations to the thread that receives them.

rcu: add rcu library

This includes a (mangled) copy of the urcu-qsbr code from liburcu.
The main changes are: 1) removing dependencies on many other header files
in liburcu; 2) removing for simplicity the tentative busy waiting in
synchronize_rcu, which has limited performance effects; 3) replacing
futexes in synchronize_rcu with QemuEvents for Win32 portability.
The API is the same as liburcu, so it should be possible in the future
to require liburcu on POSIX systems for example and use our copy only
on Windows.

Among the various versions available I chose urcu-qsbr, which has the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} but requires the program to manually
annotate quiescent points or intervals.  QEMU threads usually have easily
identified quiescent periods, so this should not be a problem.

qemu-thread: report RCU quiescent states

Most threads will use mutexes and other sleeping synchronization primitives
(condition variables, semaphores, events) periodically.  For these threads,
the synchronization primitives are natural places to report a quiescent
state (possibly an extended one).

event loop: report RCU quiescent states

Threads that run event loops also have places that can sleep for an extended
time.  Place an extended quiescent state there.

cpus: report RCU quiescent states

CPU threads have extended quiescent states while relinquishing control

block: report RCU quiescent states

The aio workers may spend a long time executing I/O operations;
mark that time as an extended quiescent state.

migration: report RCU quiescent states

The migration thread polls s->state periodically, it does not
use a mutex or condition variable, so it has to report quiescent
states manually.
