[PATCH bpf-next] bpf, docs: add LOAD_AQCUIRE and STORE_RELEASE instructions

["Alexis Lothoré (eBPF Foundation)" <alexis.lothore@bootlin.com>]

Commit 880442305a39 ("bpf: Introduce load-acquire and store-release
instructions") instroduced the LOAD_ACQUIRE and STORE_RELEASE atomic
instructions modifiers. Those are currently not described in the
documentation, despite being used in the verifier and the various JIT
compilers supporting them.

Add the missing entries in the instruction set documentation.
