Force build failure on unknown architectures

Create urcu/arch_unknown.h and urcu/uatomic_arch_unknown.h, which
contain only #error statements and explanatory comments.  This forces
build failures on unrecognized architectures in preference to trying
to guess at what operations might be safe on such architectures.

One other semi-feasible alternative is to use hashed arrays of locks
that are acquired with signals disabled.  However, this seems a bit
too ornate, especially for architectures for which the gcc __sync_
primitives work correctly.
