std.sync.atomic: extended atomic helper functions (#8866)

- deprecates `std.Thread.spinLoopHint` and moves it to `std.atomic.spinLoopHint`
- added an Atomic(T) generic wrapper type which replaces atomic.Bool and atomic.Int
- in Atomic(T), selectively expose member functions depending on T and include bitwise atomic methods when T is an Integer
- added fence() and compilerFence() to std.atomic
