Apparently, invoking fcntl(fd, F_SETFL, O_DIRECT) will lead to
unexpected behaviour on Linux bcachefs and possibly other file systems,
depending on the operating system version. So, let us avoid doing that,
and instead just attempt to pass the O_DIRECT flag to open(). This should
make us compatible with NetBSD, IBM AIX, as well as Solaris and its
derivatives.
We will only implement innodb_log_file_buffering=OFF on systems where
we can determine the physical block size (typically 512 or 4096 bytes).
Currently, those operating systems are Linux and Microsoft Windows.
HAVE_FCNTL_DIRECT, os_file_set_nocache(): Remove.
OS_FILE_OVERWRITE, OS_FILE_CREATE_PATH: Remove (never used parameters).
os_file_log_buffered(), os_file_log_maybe_unbuffered(): Helper functions.
os_file_create_func(): When applicable, initially attempt to open files
in O_DIRECT mode. For type==OS_LOG_FILE && create_mode != OS_FILE_CREATE
we will first invoke stat(2) on the file name to find out if the size
is compatible with O_DIRECT. If create_mode == OS_FILE_CREATE, we will
invoke fstat(2) on the created log file afterwards, and may close and
reopen the file in O_DIRECT mode if applicable.
create_temp_file(): Support O_DIRECT. This is only used if O_TMPFILE is
available and innodb_disable_sort_file_cache=ON (non-default value).
Notably, that setting never worked on Microsoft Windows.
row_merge_file_create_mode(): Split from row_merge_file_create_low().
Create a temporary file in the specified mode.

The directio(3C) function on Solaris is supported on NFS and UFS
while the majority of users should be on ZFS, which is a copy-on-write
file system that implements transparent compression and therefore
cannot support unbuffered I/O.
Let us remove the call to directio() and simply treat
innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT in the same way as the previous
default value innodb_flush_method=fsync on Solaris. Also, let us
remove some dead code around calls to os_file_set_nocache() on
platforms where fcntl(2) is not usable with O_DIRECT.
On IBM AIX, O_DIRECT is not documented for fcntl(2), only for open(2).
On clang, use __builtin_readcyclecounter() when available.
Hinted by Sergey Vojtovich. (This may lead to runtime failure
on ARM systems. The hardware should be available on ARMv8 (AArch64),
but access to it may require special privileges.)
We remove support for the proprietary Sun Microsystems compiler,
and rely on clang or the __GNUC__ assembler syntax instead.
For now, we retain support for IA-64 (Itanium) and 32-bit SPARC,
even though those platforms are likely no longer widely used.
We remove support for clock_gettime(CLOCK_SGI_CYCLE),
because Silicon Graphics ceased supporting IRIX in December 2013.
This was the only cycle timer interface available for MIPS.
On PowerPC, we rely on the GCC 4.8 __builtin_ppc_get_timebase()
(or clang __builtin_readcyclecounter()), which should be equivalent
to the old assembler code on both 64-bit and 32-bit targets.

-lthread works fine in most cases, but at least with gcc 3.4.6 on x86, dlopen() crashes when libpthread is not used.
Note : the workaround existed prior and did not work since CMAKE_THREADS_LIBS_INIT was already
in cache. Now, use SET(.. CACHE FORCE) to overwrite the cached value.
