libstdc++: Implement C++20 atomic<shared_ptr> and atomic<weak_ptr>


This adds another piece of C++20, the std::atomic specializations for
std::shared_ptr and std::weak_ptr.

The new _Sp_atomic type mimics the structure of shared_ptr<T> and
weak_ptr<T>, holding a T* pointer (the one returned by get() on a
shared_ptr/weak ptr) and a _Sp_counted_base<>* pointer to the
ref-counted control block. For _Sp_atomic the low bit of the control
block pointer is used as a lock bit, to ensure only one thread will
access the object at a time.  The pointer is actually stored as a
uintptr_t to avoid accidental dereferences of the pointer when unlocked
(which would be a race) or when locked (which would dereference the
wrong pointer value due to the low bit being set). To get a raw pointer
to the control block, the lock must be acquired. Converting between a
_Sp_atomic and a shared_ptr or weak_ptr requires manually adjusting the
T* and _Sp_counted_base<>* members of the shared/weak ptr, instead of
going through the public API. This must be done carefully to ensure that
any change in the number of owners is reflected in a ref-count update.
