rust: sync: atomic: Add the framework of arithmetic operations

One important set of atomic operations is the arithmetic operations,
i.e. add(), sub(), fetch_add(), add_return(), etc. However it may not
make senses for all the types that `AtomicType` to have arithmetic
operations, for example a `Foo(u32)` may not have a reasonable add() or
sub(), plus subword types (`u8` and `u16`) currently don't have
atomic arithmetic operations even on C side and might not have them in
the future in Rust (because they are usually suboptimal on a few
architecures). Therefore the plan is to add a few subtraits of
`AtomicType` describing which types have and can do atomic arithemtic
operations.

One trait `AtomicAdd` is added, and only add() and fetch_add() are
added. The rest will be added in the future.
