Add AtomicFlag type for boolean flags. Document when AtomicFlag is generally preferable to Atomic<bool>: in particular, when RMW operations such as xchg()/cmpxchg() may be used and minimizing memory usage is not the top priority. On some architectures without byte-sized RMW instructions, Atomic<bool> can be slower for RMW operations.
