  1. src: fix race condition in debug signal on exit 

    Before this commit, sending a SIGUSR1 at program exit could trigger a
hard to reproduce race condition where `v8::Debug::DebugBreak(isolate)`
got called when the isolate was in the process of being torn down.

A similar race condition is in theory possible when sending signals
to two threads simultaneously but I haven't been able to reproduce
that myself (and I tried, oh how I tried.)

This commit fixes the race condition by turning `node_isolate` into
a `std::atomic` and using it as an ad hoc synchronization primitive
in places where that is necessary.

A bare minimum std::atomic polyfill is added for OS X because Apple
wouldn't be Apple if things just worked out of the box.
