rust: helpers: Add i8/i16 atomic_read_acquire/atomic_set_release helpers

Add helper functions to expose smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() for i8 and i16 types.

The smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() macros require type
information (sizeof) to generate appropriate architecture-specific
memory ordering instructions. Therefore, separate helper functions are
needed for each type size.

These helpers expose different symbol names than their C counterparts
so they are split into atomic_ext.c instead of atomic.c. The symbol
names; atomic_[i8|i16]_read_acquire and atomic_[i8|i16]_set_release
makes the interface Rust/C clear, consistent with i32/i64.

These helpers will be used by the upcoming Atomic<i8> and Atomic<i16>
implementation to provide proper Acquire/Release semantics across all
architectures.

[boqun: Rename the functions from {load,store} to {read,set} to avoid
future adjustment]
