This adds 8 and 16 bit versions of the cmpset and fcmpset functions. Macros
are used to generate all the flavors from the same set of instructions; the
macro expansion handles the couple minor differences between each size
variation (generating ldrexb/ldrexh/ldrex for 8/16/32, etc).
In addition to handling new sizes, the instruction sequences used for cmpset
and fcmpset are rewritten to be a bit shorter/faster, and the new sequence
will not return false when *dst==*old but the store-exclusive fails because
of concurrent writers. Instead, it just loops like ldrex/strex sequences
normally do until it gets a non-conflicted store. The manpage allows LL/SC
architectures to bogusly return false, but there's no reason to actually do
so, at least on arm.

The return value of atomic_cmpset() and atomic_fcmpset() is an int (which
is really a bool) that has the values 0 or 1. Some of the inlines were
using the type being operated on (e.g. uint32_t) as either the return type
of the function, or the type of a local 'ret' variable used to hold the
return value. Fix all of these to just use plain 'int'. Due to C promotion
rules and the fact that the value can only be 0 or 1, these should all be
harmless.

self-consistent, there is no need in anything but compiler barrier in
the implementation of atomic_thread_fence_*() on ARMv5. Split
implementation of fences for ARMv4/5 and ARMv6; the former use
compiler barriers, the later also perform hardware barriers.
An issue which is fixed by the change is the faults from the CP15
coprocessor accesses in the user mode. This was uncovered by the
pthread_once() changes in r287556.
