std: Stabilize fixed-width integer atomics

Browse Source 
This commit stabilizes the `Atomic{I,U}{8,16,32,64}` APIs in the
`std::sync::atomic` and `core::sync::atomic` modules. Proposed in #56753
and tracked in #32976 this feature has been unstable for quite some time
and is hopefully ready to go over the finish line now!

The API is being stabilized as-is. The API of `AtomicU8` and friends
mirrors that of `AtomicUsize`. A list of changes made here are:

* A portability documentation section has been added to describe the
  current state of affairs.
* Emulation of smaller-size atomics with larger-size atomics has been
  documented.
* As an added bonus, `ATOMIC_*_INIT` is now scheduled for deprecation
  across the board in 1.34.0 now that `const` functions can be invoked
  in statics.

Note that the 128-bit atomic types are omitted from this stabilization
explicitly. They have far less platform support than the other atomic
types, and will likely require further discussion about their best
location.

Closes #32976
Closes #56753

//!
//! All atomic types in this module are guaranteed to be [lock-free] if they're
//! available. This means they don't internally acquire a global mutex. Atomic
//! types and operations are not guaranteed to be wait-free. This means that
//! operations like `fetch_or` may be implemented with a compare-and-swap loop.
//!
//! Atomic operations may be implemented at the instruction layer with
//! larger-size atomics. For example some platforms use 4-byte atomic
//! instructions to implement `AtomicI8`. Note that this emulation should not
//! have an impact on correctness of code, it's just something to be aware of.
//!
//! The atomic types in this module may not be available on all platforms. The
//! atomic types here are all widely available, however, and can generally be
//! relied upon existing. Some notable exceptions are:
//!
//! * PowerPC and MIPS platforms with 32-bit pointers do not have `AtomicU64` or
//! `AtomicI64` types.
//! * ARM platforms like `armv5te` that aren't for Linux do not have any atomics
//! at all.
//! * ARM targets with `thumbv6m` do not have atomic operations at all.
//!
//! Note that future platforms may be added that also do not have support for
//! some atomic operations. Maximally portable code will want to be careful
//! about which atomic types are used. `AtomicUsize` and `AtomicIsize` are
//! generally the most portable, but even then they're not available everywhere.
//! For reference, the `std` library requires pointer-sized atomics, although
//! `core` does not.
//!
//! Currently you'll need to use `#[cfg(target_arch)]` primarily to
//! conditionally compile in code with atomics. There is an unstable
//! `#[cfg(target_has_atomic)]` as well which may be stabilized in the future.
