Previously we had a fallback implementation of pg_compiler_barrier() that called an empty function across a translation unit boundary so the compiler couldn't see what it did. That shouldn't be needed on any current systems, and might not even work with a link time optimizer. Since we now require compiler-specific knowledge of how to implement atomics, we should also know how to implement compiler barriers on a hypothetical new system.
