Summary:
We've had a couple CockroachDB users fail to build RocksDB on exotic platforms, so I figured I'd try my hand at solving these issues upstream. The problems stem from a) `USE_SSE=1` being too aggressive about turning on SSE4.2, even on toolchains that don't support SSE4.2 and b) RocksDB attempting to detect support for thread-local storage based on OS, even though it can vary by compiler on the same OS.
See the individual commit messages for details. Regarding SSE support, this PR should change virtually nothing for non-CMake based builds. `make`, `PORTABLE=1 make`, `USE_SSE=1 make`, and `PORTABLE=1 USE_SSE=1 make` function exactly as before, except that SSE support will be automatically disabled when a simple SSE4.2-using test program fails to compile, as it does on OpenBSD. (OpenBSD's ports GCC supports SSE4.2, but its binutils do not, so `__SSE_4_2__` is defined but an SSE4.2-using program will fail to assemble.) A warning is emitted in this case. The CMake build is modified to support the same set of options, except that `USE_SSE` is spelled `FORCE_SSE42` because `USE_SSE` is rather useless now that we can automatically detect SSE support, and I figure changing options in the CMake build is less disruptive than changing the non-CMake build.
I've tested these changes on all the platforms I can get my hands on (macOS, Windows MSVC, Windows MinGW, and OpenBSD) and it all works splendidly. Let me know if there's anything you object to—I obviously don't mean to break any of your build pipelines in the process of fixing ours downstream.
