Tweak ABSL_PREDICT_TRUE slightly, for better code on some platforms and/or
optimization levels.  "false || (x)" is more verbose than "!!(x)", but
ultimately more efficient.

For example, given this code:

void InitIfNecessary() {
  if (ABSL_PREDICT_TRUE(NeedsInit())) {
    SlowInitIfNecessary();
  }
}

Clang with default optimization level will produce:

Before this CL              After this CL
InitIfNecessary:            InitIfNecessary:
  push rbp                    push rbp
  mov  rbp, rsp               mov  rbp, rsp
  call NeedsInit              call NeedsInit
  xor  al, -1
  xor  al, -1
  test al, 1                  test al, 1

0a3c4dfd8342bf2b1b11a87f1c662c883f73cab7 by Abseil Team <absl-team@google.com>:

Fix comment nit: sem_open => sem_init.

The code calls sem_init, not sem_open, to initialize an unnamed semaphore.
(sem_open creates or opens a named semaphore.)

Migrate distribution_impl.h/cc to generate_real.h/cc.

Combine the methods RandU64To<Float,Double> into a single method:
GenerateRealFromBits().

Remove rejection sampling from absl::uniform_real_distribution.

Update CMakeLists.txt to address https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp/issues/365.
This does not cover every platform, but it does at least address the
first-order issue of assuming gcc implies x86.
