    Implement a check whether pthread_t objects can be used by GCC atomic
    builtin functions. This check is implemented in plug.in and defines the
    macro HAVE_ATOMIC_PTHREAD_T. This macro is checked in univ.i and the
    relevant part of the code enabled (the one that uses GCC atomics against
    pthread_t objects).
    
    In addition to this, the same program that is compiled as part of the
    plug.in check is added in ut/ut0auxconf.c. In the InnoDB Plugin source
    archives that are shipped to the users, a generated Makefile.in is added.
    That Makefile.in will be modified to compile ut/ut0auxconf.c and define
    the macro HAVE_ATOMIC_PTHREAD_T if the compilation succeeds. I.e.
    Makefile.in will emulate the work that is done by plug.in. This is done in
    order to make the check happen and HAVE_ATOMIC_PTHREAD_T eventually
    defined without regenerating MySQL's ./configure from
    ./storage/innobase/plug.in. The point is not to ask users to install the
    autotools and regenerate ./configure.
