Thomas Munro e25626677f Remove --disable-spinlocks.
A later change will require atomic support, so it wouldn't make sense
for a hypothetical new system not to be able to implement spinlocks.

*
* spin.h
* API for spinlocks.
*
*
* The interface to spinlocks is defined by the typedef "slock_t" and
* these macros:
*
* void SpinLockInit(volatile slock_t *lock)
* Initialize a spinlock (to the unlocked state).
*
* void SpinLockAcquire(volatile slock_t *lock)
* Acquire a spinlock, waiting if necessary.
* Time out and abort() if unable to acquire the lock in a
* "reasonable" amount of time --- typically ~ 1 minute.
*
* void SpinLockRelease(volatile slock_t *lock)
* Unlock a previously acquired lock.
*
* bool SpinLockFree(slock_t *lock)
* Tests if the lock is free. Returns true if free, false if locked.
* This does *not* change the state of the lock.
*
* Callers must beware that the macro argument may be evaluated multiple
* times!
*
* Load and store operations in calling code are guaranteed not to be
* reordered with respect to these operations, because they include a
* compiler barrier. (Before PostgreSQL 9.5, callers needed to use a
* volatile qualifier to access data protected by spinlocks.)
*
* Keep in mind the coding rule that spinlocks must not be held for more
* than a few instructions. In particular, we assume it is not possible
* for a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to occur while holding a spinlock, and so
* it is not necessary to do HOLD/RESUME_INTERRUPTS() in these macros.
*
* These macros are implemented in terms of hardware-dependent macros
* supplied by s_lock.h. There is not currently any extra functionality
* added by this header, but there has been in the past and may someday
* be again.
