Change atomic_pointer.h to prefer a memory barrier based
implementation over a <cstdatomic> based implementation for
the following reasons:
(1) On a x86-32-bit gcc-4.4 build, <ctdatomic> was corrupting
the AtomicPointer.
(2) On a x86-64-bit gcc build, a <ctstdatomic> based acquire-load
takes ~15ns as opposed to the ~1ns for a memory-barrier
based implementation.

This revision adds two major changes:
1. build_detect_platform which generates build_config.mk
with platform-dependent flags for the build process
2. /port/atomic_pointer.h with anAtomicPointerimplementation
for platforms without <cstdatomic>
Some of this code is loosely based on patches submitted to the
LevelDB mailing list at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/leveldb
Tip of the hat to Dave Smith and Edouard A, who both sent patches.
The presence of Snappy (http://code.google.com/p/snappy/) and
cstdatomic are now both detected in the build_detect_platform
script (1.) which gets executing during make.
For (2.), instead of broadly importing atomicops_* from Chromium or
the Google performance tools, we chose to just implement AtomicPointer
and the limited atomic load and store operations it needs.
This resulted in much less code and fewer files - everything is
contained in atomic_pointer.h.

- Implemented Get() directly instead of building on top of a full
merging iterator stack. This speeds up the "readrandom" benchmark
by up to 15-30%.
- Fixed an opensource compilation problem.
Added --db=<name> flag to control where the database is placed.
- Automatically compact a file when we have done enough
overlapping seeks to that file.
- Fixed a performance bug where we would read from at least one
file in a level even if none of the files overlapped the key
being read.
- Makefile fix for Mac OSX installations that have XCode 4 without XCode 3.
- Unified the two occurrences of binary search in a file-list
into one routine.
- Found and fixed a bug where we would unnecessarily search the
last file when looking for a key larger than all data in the
level.
- A fix to avoid the need for trivial move compactions and
therefore gets rid of two out of five syncs in "fillseq".
- Removed the MANIFEST file write when switching to a new
memtable/log-file for a 10-20% improvement on fill speed on ext4.
- Adding a SNAPPY setting in the Makefile for folks who have
Snappy installed. Snappy compresses values and speeds up writes.
