The mingw win32 atomics appear to be faulty, so they should not be used
if the gcc ones are available.

Not all gcc configurations have an implementation of all the atomic
operations, and some gcc configurations have some atomic builtins
implemented but not all.
Thus check for the most essential function, whose presence should
indicate that all others are present as well, since it can be used
to implement all the other ones.

These could be used for reference counting, or for keeping track of
decoding progress in references in multithreaded decoders.
Support is provided by gcc/msvc/suncc intrinsics, with a fallback using
pthread mutexes.
