Jon Gjengset 368d56010a Rename compiler_barrier to compiler_fence ...

This addresses concerns raised following the merge of #41092.
Specifically:

> The naming of these seems surprising: the multithreaded functions (and
> both the single and multithreaded intrinsics themselves) are fences,
> but this is a barrier. It's not incorrect, but the latter is both
> inconsistent with the existing functions and slightly confusing with
> another type in std (e.g., `Barrier`).

`compiler_fence` carries the same semantic implication that this is a
compiler-only operation, while being more in line with the fence/barrier
concepts already in use in `std`.
