Replace our own homegrown assembly store/release and load/acquire
implementations with the HW agnositic atomic APIs C11 offers. This to
make the code more portable, easier to read, and reduce the
maintenance burden.
The original code used load-acquire and store-release barriers
hand-coded in assembly. Since C11, these kind of operations are
offered as built-ins in gcc and llvm. The load-acquire operation
prevents hoisting of non-atomic memory operations to before this
operation and it corresponds to the __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE operation in the
built-in atomics. The store-release operation prevents hoisting of
non-atomic memory operations to after this operation and it
corresponds to the __ATOMIC_RELEASE operation in the built-in atomics.
