[v2] net/sfc: fix broken build with clang 3.4.x

  Old clanng requires libatomic as well as gcc. Avoid compiler name and
version based checks. Add custom test for 16-byte atomic operations
to find out if libatomic is required to build.

Fixes: 96fd2bd69b58 ("net/sfc: support flow action count in transfer rules")
Bugzilla ID: 760

Such a check will have its place in a common place if another
component in DPDK starts to depend on libatomic in the future.
But for now, this patch lgtm.
Thanks.
