<atomic>: std::atomic should use ARM v8.1 and v8.2 instructions where safe #488

Description

In the following blog post a user points out that our compiler always uses the load-linked/store-conditional subset of ARM, even on hardware with better solutions.

We should work with our hardware partners to determine in which places we can emit better instructions given a CPU feature test.

I have asked folks who own these parts of the compiler to indicate here which specific intrinsics they want us to call.
