Johannes Doerfert 1e447d03e2 [OpenMP] Introduce an environment variable to disable atomic map clauses
Atomic handling of map clauses was introduced to comply with the OpenMP
standard (see D104418). However, many apps won't need this feature which
can be costly in certain situations. To allow for applications to
opt-out we now introduce the `LIBOMPTARGET_MAP_FORCE_ATOMIC` environment
flag that voids the atomicity guarantee of the standard for map clauses
again, shifting the burden to the user.

This patch also de-duplicates the code that introduces the events used
to enforce atomicity as a cleanup.

OpenMP LLVM Documentation
==================

OpenMP LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <https://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.

If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
    make
    $BROWSER <build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//html/index.html

The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//html/Foo.html` <->
`https://openmp.llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.

If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`llvm/docs/SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing
documentation very fast and includes examples of the most important
reStructuredText markup syntax.

Manpage Output
===============

Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
    make
    man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1

The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/projects/openmp/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`https://openmp.llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.
