[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC] configure: fix clang failure for libatomic

[Nikunj A Dadhania]

Travis builds failure was reported for powernv boot-serial test with
qemu built with clang.

Debugging revealed that CONFIG_ATOMIC64 wasnt getting set for the clang
build because of that atomic operations weren't being used and was
resulting in MTTCG failure in the powernv boot-serial test.

libatomic is required to successfully test atomic64 and atomic128 for
clang. Introduced newer checks for the same. And on failure default to
single threaded tcg support in PPC64.
