    Allow use of __sync_lock_test_and_set for spinlocks on any machine. · 058c7b5d

    If we have no special-case code in s_lock.h for the current platform,
    but the compiler has __sync_lock_test_and_set, use that instead of
    failing.  It's unlikely that anybody's __sync_lock_test_and_set
    would be so awful as to be worse than our semaphore-based fallback,
    but if it is, they can (continue to) use --disable-spinlocks.
    
    This allows removal of the RISC-V special case installed by commit
    c32fcac56, which generated exactly the same code but only on that
    platform.  Usefully, the RISC-V buildfarm animals should now test
    at least the int variant of this patch.
    
    I've manually tested both variants on ARM by dint of removing the
    ARM-specific stanza.  We don't want to drop that, because it already
    has some special knowledge and is likely to grow more over time.
    Likewise, this is not meant to preclude installing special cases
    for other arches if that proves worthwhile.
    
    Per discussion of a request to install the same code for loongarch64.
    Like the previous patch, we might as well back-patch to supported
    branches.
