Optimize AtomicBool for target that don't support byte-sized atomics

`AtomicBool` is defined to have the same layout as `bool`, which means
that we guarantee that it has a size of 1 byte. However on certain
architectures such as RISC-V, LLVM will emulate byte atomics using a
masked CAS loop on an aligned word.

We can take advantage of the fact that `bool` only ever has a value of 0
or 1 to replace `swap` operations with `and`/`or` operations that LLVM
can lower to word-sized atomic `and`/`or` operations. This takes
advantage of the fact that the incoming value to a `swap` or
`compare_exchange` for `AtomicBool` is often a compile-time constant.
