Require compiler barrier support.
Previously we had a fallback implementation of pg_compiler_barrier()
that called an empty function across a translation unit boundary so the
compiler couldn't see what it did. That shouldn't be needed on any
current systems, and might not even work with a link time optimizer.
Since we now require compiler-specific knowledge of how to implement
atomics, we should also know how to implement compiler barriers on a
hypothetical new system.
