amd64: prevent KCSan false positives on LAPIC mapping
For configurations without x2APIC support (guests, older hardware), the global
LAPIC MMIO mapping will trigger false-positive KCSan reports as it will appear
that multiple CPUs are concurrently reading and writing the same address.
This isn't actually true, as the underlying physical access will be performed
on the local CPU's APIC. Additionally, because LAPIC access can happen during
event timer configuration, the resulting KCSan printf can produce a panic due
to attempted recursion on event timer resources.
Add a __nosanitizethread preprocessor define to prevent the compiler from
inserting TSan hooks, and apply it to the x86 LAPIC accessors.

Make the system C11 atomics headers fully compatible with external GCC.
The <sys/cdefs.h> and <stdatomic.h> headers already included support for
C11 atomics via intrinsincs in modern versions of GCC, but these versions
tried to "hide" atomic variables inside a wrapper structure. This wrapper
is not compatible with GCC's internal <stdatomic.h> header, so that if
GCC's <stdatomic.h> was used together with <sys/cdefs.h>, use of C11
atomics would fail to compile. Fix this by not hiding atomic variables
in a structure for modern versions of GCC. The headers already avoid
using a wrapper structure on clang.
Note that this wrapper was only used if C11 was not enabled (e.g.

of GCC was used with -std=c11 but with FreeBSD's <stdatomic.h> instead

attaches).
This leads to e.g. the core dump written by CYGWIN='error_start=dumper'

Remove the waitloop argument from try_to_debug(), only used in the
exception case, so the faulting process busy-waits until the error_start
process attaches.
Code archaeology to determine why the code is this way didn't really
turn up any answers, but this seems a low-risk change, as this only
changes the behaviour when:
- a debugger isn't already attached
- an error_start is specified in CYGWIN env var
- an exception has occurred which will be translated to a signal
If error_start invokes something which doesn't attach using
DebugActiveProcess(), we will spin indefinitely, but that will also
currently occur for any of the existing other uses of try_to_debug(),
