[cfe-dev] [libcxx] std::atomic default constructor

I've attached a diff that fixes the issue in the <atomic> header and 
adds corresponding tests. I've used macros to fall back to a 
user-provided default constructor if _LIBCPP_HAS_NO_DEFAULTED_FUNCTIONS 
(though I suspect that there won't be many users defining that macro).

The tests use placement new to check that atomic values get properly 
zero-initialized. I had to modify the atomic_is_lock_free test, because 
"default initialization of an object of const type 'const A' (aka 'const 
atomic<int>') requires a user-provided default constructor".

I'd prefer a patch that switches on cxx_defaulted_functions, though I note that <atomic> doesn't compile at all in C++03 mode anyway.  So the only advantage would be that <atomic> might work on some hypothetical compiler that had cxx_atomic but not cxx_defaulted_functions.  I haven't investigated to know if this is a possibility.

In the header the "= default" is commented out and instead a trivial constructor is explicitly defined. This leads to non-standard behaviour, because value initialization doesn't zero-initialize the atomic value.
