rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic bool support via i8 representation
Add `bool` support, `Atomic<bool>` by using `i8` as its underlying representation. Rust specifies that `bool` has size 1 and alignment 1 [1], so it matches `i8` on layout; keep `static_assert!()` checks to enforce this assumption at build time.
