ICU-22838 Add WebAssembly/WASI cross-compilation support

* Add config/mh-wasi and update configure script.

  WebAssembly/WASI does not support threads and dynamic linking, so
  the new mh-wasi file disables those features in ICU.

* Teach putilimp.h not to define U_TZSET, U_TIMEZONE, and U_TZNAME for WASI

  WASI does not define timezone-related functionalities, and wasi-libc
  does not provide tzset, timezone, and tzname. This change teaches
  putilimp.h not to define U_TZSET, U_TIMEZONE, and U_TZNAME for WASI.

* Add `U_HAVE_ATOMICS` and support platforms without atomics like WASI

  This change adds a new macro `U_HAVE_ATOMICS` to ICU. This macro is
  always defined to 1 except for platforms that do not support atomic
  operations like WASI. Due to the lack of threading support in WASI, the
  wasi-sdk does not provide `std::atomic`, `std::mutex`, and related
  types, so the new macro is used to disable the use of these types.
