[PATCH 20/36] rust: sync: atomic: Add atomic bool support via i8 representation

[Boqun Feng <boqun.feng@gmail.com>]

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@gmail.com>

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.

[boqun: Remove the unnecessary impl AtomicImpl for bool]
