std: Start implementing wasm32 atomics
This commit is an initial start at implementing the standard library for
wasm32-unknown-unknown with the experimental `atomics` feature enabled. None of
these changes will be visible to users of the wasm32-unknown-unknown target
because they all require recompiling the standard library. The hope with this is
that we can get this support into the standard library and start iterating on it
in-tree to enable experimentation.

Currently there's a few components in this PR:

* Atomic fences are disabled on wasm as there's no corresponding atomic op and
  it's not clear yet what the convention should be, but this will change in the
  future!
* Implementations of `Mutex`, `Condvar`, and `RwLock` were all added based on
  the atomic intrinsics that wasm has.
* The `ReentrantMutex` and thread-local-storage implementations panic currently
  as there's no great way to get a handle on the current thread's "id" yet.

Right now the wasm32 target with atomics is unfortunately pretty unusable,
requiring a lot of manual things here and there to actually get it operational.
This will likely continue to evolve as the story for atomics and wasm unfolds,
but we also need more LLVM support for some operations like custom `global`
directives for this to work best.
