[PATCH 08/14] 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.
