One important set of atomic operations is the arithmetic operations, i.e. add(), sub(), fetch_add(), add_return(), etc. However it may not make senses for all the types that `AtomicType` to have arithmetic operations, for example a `Foo(u32)` may not have a reasonable add() or sub(), plus subword types (`u8` and `u16`) currently don't have atomic arithmetic operations even on C side and might not have them in the future in Rust (because they are usually suboptimal on a few architecures). Therefore the plan is to add a few subtraits of `AtomicType` describing which types have and can do atomic arithemtic operations. One trait `AtomicAdd` is added, and only add() and fetch_add() are added. The rest will be added in the future.
