Subject: pgsql: Remove support for 8 byte tear free read/write on 32-bit

Remove support for 8 byte tear free read/write on 32-bit

The macro for enabling single-copy atomicity on i586+ when using
GCC has been incorrect since 2017 (commit e8fdbd58f) without any
complaints, and getting it to work is non-trivial.

Getting this to work reliably require C11 atomics, which in turn
also bumps the required MSVC version. For now, simply remove the
attempted support which doesn't work anyways.
