[PATCH, libstdc++] AIX memory barriers

- Subject: [PATCH, libstdc++] AIX memory barriers
Appended is the preliminary AIX support for atomic_word.h. Recent
AIX assemblers do not yet have support for lwsync mnemonic, so I need to
use sync. Eventually configure can test for support or atomic_word.h can
test for a specific OS release.
Also, POWER did not support MP. One could use older "dcs"
equivalent of "sync", but it does not provide any benefit.
Handling AIX common mode is a problem. It requires runtime
testing and code modification. I am punting for now. If one wants to use
this functionality on an MP system, one should be compiling with an option
enabling PowerPC instructions.

* configure.host (aix4*|aix5*): Add atomic_word_dir.
* config/os/aix/atomic_word.h: New file.
