When the DPDK build is configured to use stdatomics rather than compiler
builtin atomics, the C++ chkincs builds were failing

buildtools/chkincs/staging/rte_stdatomic.h:30:9: error: ‘memory_order’ does not
name a type
30 | typedef memory_order rte_memory_order;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
The cause is differences in atomics in C (C11) and C++ (e.g. C++17 as
supported by current GCC). As explained by AI analysis:
" _Atomic(T) is a C11 feature. In C++ mode, GCC 15 does not support it as
a type specifier, and <stdatomic.h> in C++17 doesn't expose
memory_order in the global namespace (that's only in C++23). DPDK
headers also use _Atomic in anonymous unions and under extern "C",
which are incompatible with C++'s std::atomic<T> mapping."
To fix this in a resilient manner we need to go from two blocks in
rte_atomic.h to three. We have the existing non-standard/builtin
atomics path, but the standard atomic path now needs to be split into C
compatible and C++ compatible blocks. This fixes the build issues with
C++ while keeping existing C builds unchanged.
