Re-enable atomic loads and stores for all RISC-V targets

This roughly reverts PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/66548

Atomic "CAS" are still disabled for targets without the *“A” Standard Extension for Atomic Instructions*. However this extension only adds instructions for operations more complex than simple loads and stores, which are always atomic when aligned.

In the [Unprivileged Spec v. 20191213](https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/) section 2.6 *Load and Store Instructions* of chapter 2 *RV32I Base Integer Instruction Set* (emphasis mine):

> Even when misaligned loads and stores complete successfully, these accesses might run extremely slowly depending on the implementation (e.g., when implemented via an invisible trap). Further-more, whereas **naturally aligned loads and stores are guaranteed to execute atomically**, misaligned loads and stores might not, and hence require additional synchronization to ensure atomicity.

Unfortunately PR https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/66548 did not provide much details on the bug that motivated it, but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66240 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85736 appear related and happen with targets that do have the A extension.
