rust: sync: atomic: Add Atomic<*{mut,const} T> support
Atomic pointer support is an important piece of synchronization
algorithm, e.g. RCU, hence provide the support for that.
Note that instead of relying on atomic_long or the implementation of
`Atomic<usize>`, a new set of helpers (atomic_ptr_*) is introduced for
atomic pointer specifically, this is because ptr2int casting would
lose the provenance of a pointer and even though in theory there are a
few tricks the provenance can be restored, it'll still be a simpler
implementation if C could provide atomic pointers directly. The side
effects of this approach are: we don't have the arithmetic and logical
operations for pointers yet and the current implementation only works
on ARCH_SUPPORTS_ATOMIC_RMW architectures, but these are implementation
issues and can be added later.
