rust: sync: atomic: Add Atomic<{usize,isize}>

Add generic atomic support for `usize` and `isize`. Note that instead of
mapping directly to `atomic_long_t`, the represention type
(`AtomicType::Repr`) is selected based on CONFIG_64BIT. This reduces
the necessity of creating `atomic_long_*` helpers, which could save
the binary size of kernel if inline helpers are not available. To do so,
an internal type `isize_atomic_repr` is defined, it's `i32` in 32bit
kernel and `i64` in 64bit kernel.

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.

rust: sync: atomic: Add generic atomics

To provide using LKMM atomics for Rust code, a generic `Atomic<T>` is
added, currently `T` needs to be Send + Copy because these are the
straightforward usages and all basic types support this.

Implement `AtomicType` for `i32` and `i64`, and so far only basic
operations load() and store() are introduced.
