Exposing the storage class chosen by ax_tls.m4 in a public header is
a bad idea, because if a recent gcc is used when configuring
liburcu, thus detecting C11, it will choose _Thread_local. Then, if an
external project uses urcu/tls-compat.h with an older gcc (e.g. 4.8),
it will fail to build, because that storage class is unknown, and
__thread should be used instead.

Therefore, use a preprocessor conditional on __cplusplus to detect C++11
(and use thread_local). Else, the STDC version is used to select
_Thread_local. Else check if _MSC_VER is defined to select
__declspec(thread), or else rely on __thread as fallback.

Remove ax_tls.m4 because it is now unused.
