[PATCH] Fix ODR violations in code using <ext/atomicity.h>

Nathan noticed that the 'static inline' functions in <ext/atomicity.h>
cause ODR violations when used from inline functions or templates (see
[basic.def.odr] p12 bullet (12.2)). His modules branch now diagnoses
those violations, so we need a fix.

Looking at the history (r114044 by Paolo) I believe the idea was indeed
to allow different definitions to be used in different TUs. I think
__attribute__((__always_inline__)) is a better match for that than
'static inline', and doesn't violate the ODR (at least, not if all TUs
have the same values for __GTHREADS and _GLIBCXX_ATOMIC_BUILTINS).

These functions still violate this rule in [dcl.inline]:

C++17: "If a function with external linkage is declared inline in one
translation unit, it shall be declared inline in all translation units
in which it appears; no diagnostic is required."

C++2a WP: "If a function or variable with external or module linkage
is declared inline in one translation unit, there shall be a reachable
inline declaration in all translation units in which it is declared;
no diagnostic is required."

But that doesn't seem to be diagnosable by today's implementations.

Does this change seem reasonable?

It does change the size of a few files, e.g. for x86_64 some are
bigger and some are smaller, overall slightly smaller:
