Improve spinlock performance for HP-UX, ia64, non-gcc.

Improve spinlock performance for HP-UX, ia64, non-gcc. At least on this architecture, it's very important to spin on a non-atomic instruction and only retry the atomic once it appears that it will succeed. To fix this, split TAS() into two macros: TAS(), for trying to grab the lock the first time, and TAS_SPIN(), for spinning until we get it. TAS_SPIN() defaults to same as TAS(), but we can override it when we know there's a better way. It's likely that some of the other cases in s_lock.h require similar treatment, but this is the only one we've got conclusive evidence for at present.
