atomic: Consolidate atomic_write_barrier implementation

All ABIs, except alpha and sparc, define it to
atomic_full_barrier/__sync_synchronize, which can be mapped to
__atomic_thread_fence (__ATOMIC_RELEASE).

For alpha, it uses a 'wmb' which does not map to any of C11
barriers.

For sparc it uses a stronger 'member #LoadStore | #StoreStore',
where the release barrier maps to just 'membar #StoreLoad'.  The
patch keeps the sparc definition.

For PowerPC, it allows the use of lwsync for additional chips
(since _ARCH_PWR4 does not cover all chips that support it).

Tested on aarch64-linux-gnu.
