__atomic_thread_fence does not include a compiler barrier; in the
C++11 memory model, fences take effect in combination with other
atomic operations. GCC implements this by making __atomic_load and
__atomic_store access memory as if the pointer was volatile, and
leaves no trace whatsoever of acquire and release fences in the
compiler's intermediate representation.
In QEMU, we want memory barriers to act on all memory, but at the same
time we would like to use __atomic_thread_fence for portability reasons.
Add compiler barriers manually around the __atomic_thread_fence.

This includes a (mangled) copy of the liburcu code. 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-mb, which is the
least invasive implementation even though it does not have the
fastest rcu_read_{lock,unlock} implementation. The urcu flavor can
be changed later, after benchmarking.

clang defines __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST but its implementation of the
__atomic_exchange() builtin differs from that of gcc. Move the
__clang__ branch of the ifdef ladder to the top and fix its
implementation (there is no such builtin as __sync_exchange),
so we can compile with clang again.

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.

Some state is shared between the block migration code and its AIO
callbacks. Once block migration will run outside the iothread,
the block migration code and the AIO callbacks will be able to
run concurrently. Protect the critical sections with a separate
lock. Do the same for completed_sectors, which can be used from
the monitor.
