Preparation for generic atomic implementation. To unify the
implementation of a generic method over `i32` and `i64`, the C side
atomic methods need to be grouped so that in a generic method, they can
be referred as <type>::<method>, otherwise their parameters and return
value are different between `i32` and `i64`, which would require using
`transmute()` to unify the type into a `T`.
Introduce `AtomicImpl` to represent a basic type in Rust that has the
direct mapping to an atomic implementation from C. Use a sealed trait to
restrict `AtomicImpl` to only support `i32` and `i64` for now.
Further, different methods are put into different `*Ops` trait groups,
and this is for the future when smaller types like `i8`/`i16` are
supported but only with a limited set of API (e.g. only set(), load(),
xchg() and cmpxchg(), no add() or sub() etc).
While the atomic mod is introduced, documentation is also added for
memory models and data races.
Also bump my role to the maintainer of ATOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE to reflect
my responsibility on the Rust atomic mod.
