All the previous refactoring to make the assertion fast paths
smaller and faster also allows us to implement the fast paths
just with thread-local and atomic variables, without full mutexes.

However, the performance overhead of thread-safe assertions is
still significant for single threaded usage:

|  slowdown |  Debug  | Release |
|-----------|--------:|--------:|
| fast path |   1.04x |   1.43x |
| slow path |   1.16x |   1.22x |

Thus, we don't make the assertions thread-safe by default, and instead
provide a build-time configuration option that the users can set to get
thread-safe assertions.

This commit is functional, but it still needs some follow-up work:
 * We do not need full seq_cst increments for the atomic counters,
   and using weaker ones can be faster.
 * We brute-force updating the reporter-friendly totals from internal
   atomic counters by doing it everywhere. We should properly trace
   where this is needed instead.
 * Message macros (`INFO`, `UNSCOPED_INFO`, `CAPTURE`, etc) are not
   made thread safe in this commit, but they can be made thread safe
   in the future, by building on top of this work.
 * Add more tests, including with thread-sanitizer, and compiled
   examples to the repository. Right now, these changes have been
   compiled with tsan manually, but these tests are not added to CI.

Closes #2948

<title>Allow disabling use of __builtin_constant_p in internal macros</title>

Turns out that even in GCC, the expression in `__builtin_cosntant_p`
can end up evaluated and side-effects executed. To allow users to
work around this bug, I added a configuration option to disable its
use in internal macros.

<title>Introduce CATCH_CONFIG_PREFIX_MESSAGES to only prefix a few logging related macros. (#2544)</title>

* Add missing include for VxWorks build.

std::min is defined in algorithm provides std::min. It appears to be transitively included for most platforms. For VxWorks however this explicit include is required.

* Add option CATCH_CONFIG_PREFIX_MESSAGES to selectively prefix message macros only.

In contrast to CATCH_CONFIG_PREFIX_ALL, this will only prefix the following macros:
I.e. INFO, UNSCOPED_INFO, WARN and CATCH_CAPTURE

This is mainly useful for codebases that use INFO or WARN for their own logging macros.</content>

* Add new `CATCH_CONFIG` option for using `std::getenv`, because PS does not support env vars
* Add PS to platforms that have disabled posix signals.
* Small workaround for PS toolchain bug that prevents it from compiling `std::set` with lambda based comparator.</content>
