[RISCV] Add target feature to force-enable atomics

This adds a +forced-atomics target feature with the same semantics
as +atomics-32 on ARM (D130480). For RISCV targets without the +a
extension, this forces LLVM to assume that lock-free atomics
(up to 32/64 bits for riscv32/64 respectively) are available.

This means that atomic load/store are lowered to a simple load/store
(and fence as necessary), as these are guaranteed to be atomic
(as long as they're aligned). Atomic RMW/CAS are lowered to __sync
(rather than __atomic) libcalls. Responsibility for providing the
__sync libcalls lies with the user (for privileged single-core code
they can be implemented by disabling interrupts). Code using
+forced-atomics and -forced-atomics are not ABI compatible if atomic
variables cross the ABI boundary.

For context, the difference between __sync and __atomic is that the
former are required to be lock-free, while the latter requires a
shared global lock provided by a shared object library. See
https://llvm.org/docs/Atomics.html#libcalls-atomic for a detailed
discussion on the topic.

This target feature will be used by Rust's riscv32i target family
to support the use of atomic load/store without atomic RMW/CAS.
