tcg: handle EXCP_ATOMIC exception for system emulation

The patch enables handling atomic code in the guest. This should be
preferably done in cpu_handle_exception(), but the current assumptions
regarding when we can execute atomic sections cause a deadlock.

The current mechanism discards the flags which were set in atomic
execution. We ensure they are properly saved by calling the
cc->cpu_exec_enter/leave() functions around the loop.

As we are running cpu_exec_step_atomic() from the outermost loop we
need to avoid an abort() when single stepping over atomic code since
debug exception longjmp will point to the the setlongjmp in
cpu_exec(). We do this by setting a new jmp_env so that it jumps back
here on an exception.
