Subject: [RFC 2/3] tools/memory-model: Add a litmus test for atomic_set()

We already use a litmus test in atomic_t.txt to describe the behavior of
an atomic_set() with the an atomic RMW, so add it into the litmus-tests
directory to make it easily accessible for anyone who cares about the
semantics of our atomic APIs.
