[PATCH bpf-next v4 10/10] bpf, docs: Update instruction-set.rst for load-acquire and store-release instructions

[Peilin Ye <yepeilin@google.com>]

Update documentation for the new load-acquire and store-release
instructions.  Rename existing atomic operations as "atomic
read-modify-write (RMW) operations".

Following RFC 9669, section 7.3. "Adding Instructions", create new
conformance groups "atomic32v2" and "atomic64v2", where:

  * atomic32v2: includes all instructions in "atomic32", plus the new
                8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit atomic load-acquire and
                store-release instructions

  * atomic64v2: includes all instructions in "atomic64" and
                "atomic32v2", plus the new 64-bit atomic load-acquire
                and store-release instructions
