Automatically enable C11 atomics when available.

It's now 2021. Hopefully we can at least assume anyone building with
-std=c11 also has a corresponding set of headers. Plus, even if you
don't, Clang seems to provide a header. (So C11 atomics work in
clang-cl.) Also apparently atomics are optional, so this checks
__STDC_NO_ATOMICS__.

This does *not* set C11 as the minimum version. If you build with
-std=c99, we'll silently use the non-atomics implementation. That's a
little magical, so I've kept OPENSSL_C11_ATOMIC as a way to assert that
you really want C11 atomics. Mostly it turns into a -std=c11 && !MSVC
self-assert.

Update-Note: If something fails to compile, we'll revert this and adjust
the check, or add an opt-out, or give up. Also, if building with
-std=c99, consider -std=c11.
