tools/memory-model: Rename litmus tests to comply to norm7
norm7 produces the 'normalized' name of a litmus test, when the test can be generated from a single cycle that passes through each process exactly once. The commit renames such tests in order to comply to the naming scheme implemented by this tool. Signed-off-by: Andrea Parri <andrea.parri@amarulasolutions.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
