Remove ill-conceived ban on zero length json object keys.

We removed a similar ban on this in json_object recently, but the ban in
datum_to_json was left, which generate4d sprutious errors in othee json
generators, notable json_build_object.

Along the way, add an assertion that datum_to_json is not passed a null
key. All current callers comply with this rule, but the assertion will
catch any possible future misbehaviour.
Add a basic atomic ops API abstracting away platform/architecture details.

Several upcoming performance/scalability improvements require atomic
operations. This new API avoids the need to splatter compiler and
architecture dependent code over all the locations employing atomic
ops.

For several of the potential usages it'd be problematic to maintain
both, a atomics using implementation and one using spinlocks or
similar. In all likelihood one of the implementations would not get
tested regularly under concurrency. To avoid that scenario the new API
provides a automatic fallback of atomic operations to spinlocks. All
properties of atomic operations are maintained. This fallback -
obviously - isn't as fast as just using atomic ops, but it's not bad
either. For one of the future users the atomics ontop spinlocks
implementation was actually slightly faster than the old purely
spinlock using implementation. That's important because it reduces the
fear of regressing older platforms when improving the scalability for
new ones.

The API, loosely modeled after the C11 atomics support, currently
provides 'atomic flags' and 32 bit unsigned integers. If the platform
efficiently supports atomic 64 bit unsigned integers those are also
provided.

To implement atomics support for a platform/architecture/compiler for
a type of atomics 32bit compare and exchange needs to be
implemented. If available and more efficient native support for flags,
32 bit atomic addition, and corresponding 64 bit operations may also
be provided. Additional useful atomic operations are implemented
generically ontop of these.

The implementation for various versions of gcc, msvc and sun studio have
been tested. Additional existing stub implementations for
* Intel icc
* HUPX acc
* IBM xlc
are included but have never been tested. These will likely require
fixes based on buildfarm and user feedback.

As atomic operations also require barriers for some operations the
existing barrier support has been moved into the atomics code.

Fix atomic ops for x86 gcc compilers that don't understand atomic intrinsics.

Per buildfarm animal locust.
Fix atomic ops inline x86 inline assembly for older 32bit gccs.

Some x86 32bit versions of gcc apparently generate references to the
nonexistant %sil register when using when using the r input
constraint, but not with the =q constraint. The latter restricts
allocations to a/b/c/d which should all work.
Define META_FREE in a way that doesn't cause -Wempty-body warnings.

That get rids of the only -Wempty-body warning when compiling postgres
with gcc 4.8/9. As 6550b901f shows, it's useful to be able to use that
option routinely.

Without asserts there's many more warnings, but that's food for
another commit.
Fix whitespace
Fix a couple occurrences of 'the the' in the new atomics API.

Further atomic ops portability improvements and bug fixes.

* Don't play tricks for a more efficient pg_atomic_clear_flag() in the
  generic gcc implementation. The old version was broken on gcc < 4.7
  on !x86 platforms. Per buildfarm member chipmunk.
* Make usage of __atomic() fences depend on HAVE_GCC__ATOMIC_INT32_CAS
  instead of HAVE_GCC__ATOMIC_INT64_CAS - there's platforms with 32bit
  support that don't support 64bit atomics.
* Blindly fix two superflous #endif in generic-xlc.h
* Check for --disable-atomics in platforms but x86.
